The Hollywood star has always wanted to celebrate the festive season in England so is flying all his family over from the States.

Cage - who has a two-year-old son, Kal-El, with wife Alice Kim, said, "This year I'm doing something new. I'm going to be in the U.K. I've always wanted to have a Charles Dickens-style traditional English Christmas ever since I was small so I'll be bringing the whole family over and we'll spend it in England. Maybe it will snow. Maybe!"

Cage is fast becoming a committed Anglophile.

Earlier this year, the "Ghost Rider' spent nearly $10 million on a British castle.

Isabel Briggs - the seller of the 18th Century gothic abode, located near Bath - said, "There is a bit of fantasy about the castle but what appealed to him is the rather romantic landscape - we have a beautiful valley with its own woods. When he visited in May he walked all around the estate and decided that this was for him."

The 60-acre estate boasts an orangery, two cottages, a ruined chapel and 11 acres of woodland.

Cage already has an impressive property portfolio, with 14 homes dotted around the globe worth around $66 million. They include a Californian beach house which once belonged to late actor John Wayne.
