I have a proposal from a Catholic man who wants to convert to Islam and has family support. Are there any restrictions regarding his family, him, me, or our future children in this situation?

He has 2 little sisters and a little brother. They are all Catholics, they also have a dog.
He and his family would of-course always celebrate Christmas with others. Would he be allowed to go to his family while they are celebrating Christmas?
I also have heard that we cannot eat from Catholic people. Is this true, and is it also applicable in this scenario?

Congratulations on your proposal. If he meets the right requirements for a spouse, and there is compatibility, and families are happy, go ahead.
No, there are no restrictions, other than the basic shar'i matters, like halal food, no alcohol, etc. Besides this, you and him can visit them in Christmas, and be with them, like any other family.
And Allah knows best
