(I must say, I don't own Trek, Goodies or Ghostbusters, because Trek belongs to Paramount, Goodies belongs to the BBC and Ghostbusters, and I don't know who it belongs to.)
Still, here's my story.    

It was a cold Christmas evening on the Holodeck. Everyone was happily putting up decorations and hanging baubles on their trees. The Goodies, Tim, Bill and Graeme, were going round as elves, putting presents through the letterboxes. The children ran round, trying to catch each other. Malcolm Reed and Trip (Charles Tucker III) were helping Travis Mayweather with the Christmas Dinner, as Hoshi Sato had cooked it. T'Pol was laying the table for Jonathan Archer, as he was putting presents under the tree with Dr. Phlox. Porthos was chasing a handkerchief. Everything was normal, until…
Scrooge (Jean-Luc Picard) came out of the shadows and commanded everyone to get back to work.
Scrooge was an old, selfish man, and everybody didn't like his behaviour. Everyone was sad that they had to go back to work. Even the Goodies didn't feel like elves any more. "I don't feel like an elf anymore!" said a glum looking Bill. "I am banning Christmas!" shouted Scrooge.
Later that night, Scrooge had an interesting dream.
Tasha Yar (The Ghost Of The Past), looking pale and ghostly, came to him and said, "Remember the time when you played Poker? And how you felt when you saw me die? Don't forget the fun we had as a crew!" and she disappeared.
Next Data the android as The Ghost Of The Present visited and asked, "Do you know why humans celebrate Christmas and what it means?" "No, I don't." answered Scrooge. "It is a time when families come to together to have fun and peace, good will to all men!" answered Data, and then he disappeared.

Lastly, Q arrived as a future ghost, dressed in white robes, and showed Scrooge the future. It showed Scrooge as a very elderly man, lonely and had no friends. After Q showed the future, Scrooge gasped. "I don't want to be that old man!" he exclaimed. "Well then," Q shrugged. "don't ban Christmas!" then he snapped his fingers and vanished.
Scrooge woke up and went outside his house into the snowy town and tried to tell everyone about his dream, luckily everyone believed him, so that day he brought presents for all the children.
Q came back, but he got chased out by the Ghostbusters, who were in their costumes. Data came over and Scrooge said,"Last night I had an interesting dream and you, Tasha Yar and Q were in it."  
"Intriguing, Captain" replied Data. As he and the Captain were talking, the Goodies came by on their trandem, like a tandem, only it has 3 seats for 3 people, and Graeme thrust them each a present as they went by. "Here you are!" called Graeme.
Then the Captain and Data followed the Goodies to join everyone else dancing away to the music.
This is my version of A Christmas Carol that I updated to have some of my favourite shows as some of the characters.
Featuring the Goodies and the Ghostbuters.
