She's engaged to marry Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid and Courtney Cox is now planning a "traditional Irish Christmas".
The Friends actress began dating the Derry man last December and while the couple will remain in California for the festive season, she is said to be adamant that their first Christmas together will pay tribute to his Irish roots.
According to reports, the couple's Malibu menu will include Guinness, black pudding and smoked salmon as they celebrate with Cox's daughter Coco.
"So this is their first Christmas together and Courteney is eager to go big. She's invited all of Johnny's Irish family to join them. She wants a traditional Irish day and is planning to bake an Irish Christmas cake with Guinness, Irish soda bread with smoked salmon and black pudding," said a source.
The 50-year-old has also invited ex-husband David Arquette and his fiancée Christina McLarty to join them for the festivities as she is eager for Coco to spend Christmas with both of her parents.
