Shortly after regenerating into his Tenth incarnation, post-regenerating trauma is setting in. The TARDIS brings Rose and a comatose Doctor back to London on Christmas Eve. while his regeneration goes wrong, Santa-shaped assassins and deadly Christmas trees herald the approach of a terrible danger from the stars. A recently-launched British space probe attracts the attention of the warlike Sycorax.
