tent caterpillars.

Tent caterpillars are unlikely to bother "small christmas tree like" plants
(coniferous evergreens), but it might very well be spider mites, specially
if the plant in question is a dwarf Alberta spruce. There are also a few
varieties of webworms that can infest conifers. Hard to be more precise
without a photo or better description of the problem and how the tree is
growing/location.
