A Christmas Carol
The ghost of Christmas past was the first spirit to visit scrooge in a Christmas carol.
The third ghost that came to visit Ebenezer Scrooge in a Christmas Carol was the Ghost of Christmas Present, if you include Marley's ghost, but if you do not include Marley, then the third (and therefore last) ghost was that of the Christmas Yet to Come, a spectral ghost whose most terrifying feature was that of his muted voice.

The ghost of Christmas Present is portrayed as jolly and filled with merriment in "A Christmas Carol." He is known for showcasing the joy and abundance of the holiday season.
In "A Christmas Carol," the Ghosts appear in the following order: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (also known as the Ghost of Christmas Future). They each visit Ebenezer Scrooge to help him reflect on his life and change his ways.
Marley is the first ghost and no time is given. The first two spirits of Christmas were to arrive at 1 in the morning.
