A Roboform Christmas tree nearly destroyed Jackie Tyler's flat shortly before the Sycorax invasion of Christmas 2006. It was neutralised by the newly regenerated Tenth Doctor. (TV: The Christmas Invasion)
However, malicious mistletoe and tinsel accompanied the tree at Jackie's flat. On 25 December, parasitic mistletoe attacked the Third Doctor for his nutrients when he visited Jackie's home, but was distracted by a Christmas pudding and a bottleful of brandy by Jackie. Later, the Master was captured by tinsel within the flat before being freed by the Doctor. (PROSE: The Christmas Inversion)
In 2007, the baubles of another Christmas tree were used by the Tenth Doctor to flood the web containing the Racnoss children with the River Thames. (TV: The Runaway Bride)
