Peter Facinelli with SodaClub via WireImage

He may play a 400 year-old vampire in Twilight, but Peter Facinelli looked like a kid in a candy store backstage at New York radio station Z100's Jingle Ball 2008. CGG caught him playing in the H&M Artists Gift Lounge with SodaStream by SodaClub -- an eco-friendly soda maker!

Sodastream staffers invited Peter and other celebs to mix their own fizzy potions with a machine that instantly turns water into soda -- with no wasteful bottles to dispose of! Blood was not a flavor option, so Pete put together Pete's Choice instead, which tasted a bit like Dr. Pepper.

So how's life post-Twilight? The down-to-earth family guy (he's married to 90210 star Jennie Garth)had plenty to say about helping the needy this holiday season, the cause that's closest to his heart (psst! One of them involves donating blood!), and even how young people can be more financially responsible during these current tough economic times. Don't miss this CGG exclusive interview!
