Despite the allure of Black Friday deals, Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale will be sleeping in — and escaping the chaos at the mall.

“My only tradition is that I stay away [laughs] from it all,” she tells me Tuesday when she pops up to surprise students with battery-powered toys during the Duracell Power Holiday Smiles event benefitting Toys For Tots at P.S. 64 in NYC.

“I’ve never been to a mall or a store on Black Friday. I don’t do good in crowds, I have anxiety — no, I can’t. Not even a good sale can bring me out!”

For Thanksgiving, the 23-year-old beauty looks forward to relaxing.

“I’m going to spend a week-and-a-half at home in Nashville, and just hang out with family,” she says. “I’m really excited. I haven’t been home in awhile.”

One thing she won’t have to worry about is holiday drama.

“My family has steered clear of it — I don’t know how,” she admits. “If anything, it’s been a food crisis — like, something was burnt or somebody forgot an ingredient. Otherwise, I have a small family, so it tends to be pretty low-key. We’ve lucked out in that way.”

For Lucy, giving back is a way of life.

"I’m working with Duracell and their Power Holiday Smiles campaign. What it is is a sweepstakes, and you can go on their Facebook page, which is Facebook.com/Duracell, and you enter the sweepstakes to win some of the hottest toys of the season. For every entry in the sweepstakes, Duracell’s going to donate one battery to Toys For Tots to power up the toys for the holiday season."

She continues, "It’s cool, because you have the opportunity to win some pretty cool stuff, and you’re also helping out. Give a little, take a little — it’s good for everybody."

Duracell Power Holiday Smiles aims to power 500,000 smiles for families in need with the help of consumers.
