Katie Holmes Reveals Christmas Plans

It's no secret that Katie Holmes has left her young Dawson's Creek persona far behind for a life of globe-trotting with husband Tom Cruise and her 18-month-old daughter Suri. So what is the Cruise clan planning for Christmas? "My whole family and Tom's whole family will go up to Telluride [Colo.] again. We ski. We have big dinners and laugh," Katie says in a revealing interview with Parade magazine.

Katie — who stars in the upcoming film Mad Money with Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah — plans to spend a lot of time in the kitchen over the holidays. "We love cooking. My mom's stuffing is my favorite. I'm a huge fan of pie, especially pecan. I will probably cook some garlic mashed potatoes and maybe a cheesecake."

Adds Holmes, "We always make a lot of sugar cookies with decorating and sprinkles. Suri will be in the dough everywhere. Tom has shown me the greatness of extra chocolate chips. Tom's really good in the kitchen. He makes great pasta carbonara and lemon pasta."
