Tennis legend Serena Williams spent her first Christmas with her 3-month-old daughter, Alexis Olympia.

Serena took to Instagram to share a festive Christmas Eve photo with her baby girl, using a Snapchat filter that gave both mother and daughter a red poinsettia crown with gold sparkling cat ears.

Serena looked gorgeous in a black dress with a heart necklace, and little Alexis gave an adorable pout for the camera.

Australia have already regained the Ashes after an innings and 41-run victory in the third Test in Perth last week gave them an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
