On Monday, December 10, Amber Riley celebrates the holiday season with "That's What Christmas Means to Me." This one-night only concert will feature Riley along with a six-piece band performing classic holiday tunes including This Christmas, O Holy Night, All I Want For Christmas Is You, and many more. Joining Riley is a star-studded lineup of incredible vocalists including Grammy nominees Jordin Sparks and Ledisi, gospel singer Anthony Evans, and former Glee co-star Kevin McHale. Additionally, the concert will include a toy drive to benefit A PLACE CALLED HOME, as attendees are each encouraged to bring an offering for the underserved youth the charity assists.

Actress and singer Amber Riley is best known for her role as 'Mercedes Jones' in the Golden Globe Award-winning musical comedy, "Glee." She can currently be seen on the big screen in Tyler Perry's Nobody's Fool, opposite Tiffany Haddish, Tika Sumpter, Omari Hardwick, and Whoopi Goldberg. Riley recently wrapped a year-long run in her West End debut of the revival production of Dreamgirls in the iconic role of Effie White. The production marked the UK premiere of the award-winning production. Riley won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance. In 2013, she won season 17 of ABC's hit competition series "Dancing with the Stars" alongside her partner Derek Hough.
