The filming marks Carlos PenaVega's return to AT&T Stadium where he joined his band Big Time Rush in performing the national anthem on Thanksgiving Day in 2011. Carlos PenaVega and Alexa PenaVega are longtime supporters of The Salvation Army and have personally participated in various initiatives with The Salvation Army, including serving families with food boxes after hurricanes in Florida, helping families receive Christmas gifts after losing everything to wildfires in their hometown of Lahaina, Hawaii, and even serving as bell ringers as part of the beloved annual Red Kettle Campaign.
