Quincy Brown has released the music videofor his new holiday single “Christmas Time,” and the multi-talented star dedicated the visuals tohis late mother, Kim Porter.

In the festive music video, Brown can be seen decking the halls, setting up a Christmas trees and giving out gifts tomembers of Best Buddies— one of the world’s largest organizations dedicated to ending the social, physical and economic isolation of the 200 million people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
“Christmas is my favorite holiday as I have been blessed to have a large and loving family, where the holidays is the time we all gather and create special moments,” Brown, 27, said in a statement.“For my ‘Christmas Time’ music video, it was important to me to bring that love visually and share with my fans that unity still does exist. We visited three homes and families based in Atlanta, Georgia, with a diverse background and conditions. Building the trees and decorating them, and seeing their eyes shine of happiness just made my heart smile. I want to thank Best Buddies for allowing me to work with them to bring the Christmas spirit to these homes, and amazing individuals.”
