'Twas the Night Before Christmas was a Christmas themed webcast story featuring the Thirteenth Doctor. It was the second of two animated Thirteenth Doctor webcasts released in December of 2018, the first being Festive Thirteenth Doctor Yule Log.
Summary
Get in the festive spirit with a very Doctor Who poem!
Plot
On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus is in a panic because his sleigh has lost its magical flying power. He calls the Thirteenth Doctor, who agrees to lend him her TARDIS for the night. Later, as the TARDIS zips around the world, a news anchor reports that there have been sightings of a police box in the sky.
