Much to the delight of the gathered crowd, Leighton Meester teamed up with Portraits of Hope and Herbal Essences for a midday event in Santa Monica on Tuesday (January 4).
The "Gossip Girl" actress strapped on her skates as she helped to transform the ICE outdoor skating rink into a paradise of painted flowers.
Meanwhile, Miss Meester is in the midst of final promotions as her new movie "Country Strong" hits theaters on Friday, January 7th.
Of shooting the film, which co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw, Leighton recently told Seventeen magazine, "It was very inspiring being around all these people who make really good music and write amazing songs that tell stories."
She added, "There's a lot of really talented people in Nashville and the music they make has been around forever. They are real musicians, it's not just a computer."
