Steven Anthony Lawrence, an actor you may fondly remember for playing Shia LaBeouf's pesky, bacon-loving neighbor Beans in the Disney Channel series "Even Stevens," is now charming audiences way closer to home.

Lawrence is working the seasonal Santa Photos booth at Concord's Sunvalley Mall, and based on the dozens of tweets and Instagram posts geo-tagged to the location, is definitely in the lead when it comes to who is the most popular character hanging around the mall's Winter Wonderland (sorry Santa).

We can only assume that Lawrence is method acting in preparation for his new role as Jingles on the 2017 film, "Holly, Jingles, and Clyde," a 3D movie about "two bumbling elves" who "team up with Santa's daughter Holly to try to help a Michigan family in danger of losing its Christmas-tree farm."

Whatever the case may be, let us celebrate and treasure this weird Christmas miracle.
