    Have y’all seen the TNG Christmas episode where Picard is transported back to 20th century earth and learns that santa was real and was a weird old non-violent Klingon messing with precontact era humans in their spaceship flimsily disguised as a sleigh complete with a taxidermied reindeer bolted to the front?

    Picard spends the night helping “Santa” deliver presents and is moved by all the happy children but then decides the law is the law and arrests Santa for violation of the Prime Directive.

    The episode ends in a famous scene of a horde of angry children chasing Picard across a field while hurling rocks at him after Picard reveals to the children Santa is a fraud.

      Well, it takes place in April.

      Generations, on the other hand, is the only appearance of a Christmas tree in the TNG era of Star Trek.
