Back in July, the actress Naya Rivera of “Glee” fame tragically drowned at the age of 33. Now, her “Glee” costar Matthew Morrison is opening up about how the cast of the iconic show is honoring Rivera’s memory after her passing.

“It was a really challenging year to lose yet another member of our cast, but we’ve just bonded together so much through this experience,” Morrison told Entertainment Tonight. “Naya used to do this thing called Snixxmas, because that was one of her little nicknames, Snixx. It’s something that the Glee cast — we’re talking about kind of like reviving it this year. Doing some kind of thing for charity, or something to kind of honor her.”

At the time of this writing, the Snixxmas charity drive that was launched by the cast of “Glee” has raised over $32,000.

“If you were lucky enough to know Naya, you know she threw some epic parties,” states a message on the GoFundMe page. “The best of them all was her annual Christmas party, which she dubbed Snixxmas. Snixxmas was like Naya herself… sparkling, fabulous and one hell of a good time!”

“But it wasn’t only glitz, glamour and gay apparel,” the statement added. “Every holiday season, Naya found ways to give back. Recently, Naya began working with a local non-profit in Los Angeles called Alexandria House. She not only raised and contributed funds for them, but also volunteered her time and effort to the organization.”

On top of helping out with the Snixxmas charity drive, Morrison is busy spreading Christmas cheer in Dr. Seuss’The Grinch Musical. He took on the legendary role of the Grinch for the special, which was filmed on stage at  the Troubadour Theatre in London.

“This is the first time we’re really seeing the Grinch in a musical, and I think it’s fun because one of the big reasons I wanted to do this project was to bring theater to people that have been deprived of it for nine months now,” Morrison said. “There’s such a huge theater community out there — and also the people that are on stage and not being able to do what they love to do — so I really wanted to bring that to people who are kind of just missing out on it this year.”

“But my Grinch is kind of unlike any other Grinch I’ve seen,” he continued. “I think they’re all so different, which is beautiful, because this is one of those characters that I don’t know if I’ll get to play again. It’s kind of ‘anything goes,’ you know. It’s free to just be imaginative and to really just kind of let out your demons a little bit. I don’t really live in that space very often so it was kind of fun to go there.”
