A story for the First Doctor and Steven Taylor, set between The Dalek's Master Plan and The Massacre. Written Anthony Keetch, and read by Peter Purves.
The Doctor and Steven land on a snowy mountainside, covered in pine trees. When they stumble into cottage with a scared young girl and her dying grandfather, however, things take a turn for the worse. For Greta's father is nowhere to be found, and the trees are getting closer.
'O Tannenbaum' contains examples of the following:
- Christmas Episode
- Half-Human Hybrid: Joseph is, at least partially, turned into a pine tree. The Doctor can't fix it, and it doesn't seem to set him back too much.
- Titled After the Song
- Translator Microbes: The Doctor can speak tree. Alien Pine tree, at least. Steven, however, can't.
- When Trees Attack
