The Unquiet Dead
OK. Technically, this one isn't actually a Christmas Special, but it should have been. After all, it's a story with Charles Dickens, at Christmas, with ghosts (as Donna might have put it.) It deserves the number two spot for simply setting the precedent of Christmassy Doctor Who.
It was only the third story to be broadcast after the series returned. Back then, we didn't even have a concept of a Doctor Who Christmas Special, other than William Hartnell taking time out from the Daleks Masterplan to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
Christmassy Factor: 8/10
Victorian/Dickensian Factor: 10/10
