Is it clear that this is a valid story? Given the [[T:VS]], this translates to the question: is this story officially licensed? The reason for my hesitation is this. It's posted on a website that belongs to BBC Worldwide. Perhaps, it is sufficient for ascertaining that the story is licensed by BBC. However, the intro to the story states: "As an exclusive Christmas treat, our friends at Titan Comics have produced a very special present - a Doctor Who short story." The illustrations and some characters indeed originate from Titan stories, and the writer wrote for them before. What is missing on this page is a confirmation of Titan that they licensed it, approved it, or did anything of the sort. I checked that the website of Titan Comics does not have any mentions of "Christmas Special" in the past month. So it would seem that one relevant party, Titan Comics has not licensed this story.

"''Below, you read what Cavan has to say about his Ninth Doctor ‘Christmas Special’ short story, and why he wanted to give Nine his very own festive outing. | |||
"Ever since I received the call to write the Ninth Doctor comic, I’ve wanted to give Nine the Christmas special he missed out on TV. Doctor Who’s Christmas specials started with the Tenth Doctor’s debut, The Christmas Invasion, so he never really had one. Of course, we had The Unquiet Dead, which is full of festive fear, but the idea nagged away at me '''so I asked Titan Comics about the possibility of writing something a little Christmassy this year as a thank you to everyone who’s supported the Ninth Doctor comic. ‘Christmas Special’ is the result.'''''"
