== Summary ==
The Eleventh Doctor (in a jingling festive hat), takes [[Amy Pond]] to [[Hollograd]] on [[Christmas|Christmas Day]] in [[1873]]. Expecting it to be like a fairy-tale Christmas scene, the village is instead covered in a red mist - a psychic fog that is separating the parents from their children. The psychic fog blocks the children (like Almos), from the minds of their parents until the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to clear away the fog with a bright light. In the light, those behind the fog are revealed as [[Krampus]] - creatures of folklore, who use the fog to create a fear and sadness (in this case from the feelings of losing a child at Christmas), on which they feed. The screwdriver doesn’t give light to keep the fog away and it creeps back until the Doctor returns to the TARDIS and switches on the roof light. The fog is dispersed, the parents are re-united with their children and the Krampus, unable to exist without sadness, fade away.

Red Christmas was a Doctor Who Adventures comic story featuring the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond.

Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Eleventh Doctor (in a jingling, festive hat) takes Amy Pond to Hollograd on Christmas Day in 1873. He expects it to be like a fairy-tale Christmas scene. Instead, the village is covered in a red mist — a psychic fog that separates parents from their children.

The fog blocks the children from the minds of their parents until the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to clear away the fog with a bright light. In the light, those behind the fog are revealed as Krampus — creatures of folklore who use the fog to create a fear and sadness (in this case from the feelings of losing a child at Christmas), on which they feed.

The screwdriver doesn't give light to keep the fog away. It creeps back until the Doctor returns to the TARDIS and switches on the roof light. The fog is dispersed, the parents are re-united with their children and the Krampus, unable to exist without sadness, fade away.
