Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and the kids spent the holiday in New York City.

Five days before Christmas, the family sipped hot chocolate at NYC's CafĂ© Metro. Pitt — who turned 46 Dec. 18 — "waited in line like all the other patrons," a witness told UsMagazine.com, while Jolie, 34 (who is in town for final "Salt" shoots), chatted with daughter Zahara, 5, son Maddox, 8, and daughter Shiloh, 3.

Later, the family was seen purchasing up gloves, hats and scarves from a street vendor.

Pitt and Jolie were generous givers this year.

They donated $100,000 to the American SOS Children's Villages, an alternative foster care organization with operations in Illinois and Florida.

"We have seen firsthand the remarkable job SOS does to raise orphaned and abandoned children and keep families together," Jolie said in a statement. "No one "ages out" of an SOS Village. Vocational training, advanced education, living assistance and more support are there forever."
