Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise will spend Christmas Day (25.12.14) together.

The 36-year-old actress has agreed to reunite with her ex-husband for the festive holiday for the sake of their eight-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise.

A source revealed: ''Katie wants to spend Christmas with her own family but has to put Suri first and will do everything in her power to make her happy.''

The Hollywood couple split in 2012 after five years of marriage with the 'Miss Meadows' actress taking custody of their daughter, and while she wants the youngster to have a good relationship with her father, she is keen to shield her from her former beau's interest in Scientology.

The source explained: ''There's no way Katie will set foot in Tom's home or be in the same room as the rest of his family, because they are all so involved with the Scientology movement.''

As a result, Katie is believed to have begrudgingly invited the 52-year-old movie star - who is currently filming 'Mission: Impossible 5' - over to her home in a bid to throw the best possible Christmas for the child,

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, the insider added: ''So she's asked him to come to their new home. Tom's agreed to try to schedule his holidays to involve Suri as much as possible.

''It was Tom's turn to have Suri on Christmas Day last year, so to see her again this year will be a bonus.''
