This used to be shown on "Garfield Goose" w/ Frazier Thomas on WGN every Christmas, when I was a kid. Over 40 years later, I came home one Christmas, saw it on a WGN special late that Christmas Eve, and still remembered the lyrics.
I knew when i saw Suzy Snowflake that holiday vacation was around the corner/listening to this gives me goosebumps as a flood of memories come back to me!
It seems only those of us who grew up around Johnstown or Chicago know about this (and Frosty and Three Little Dwarfs (H, C and J). It wasn't Christmas time until these played on black and white Zenith.
I lived in Dover, DE in the early 50's. The first time i saw Suzy Snowflake and The 3 dwarfs was on the Today show. They showed it around Christmas time every year. So happy to find this on You Tube.
I’m in Western New York and grew up in the 50s watching this magical song every Christmas. Oh the memories from such a simplistic bygone era! I had no idea this little cartoon touched so many lives. ☃️
I’m so happy now that Suzy Snowflake is now on RUclips. The memories that are going on in my head, with people like Frazier Thomas, Bozo, Ray raynor, Garfield Goose, Cuddley Dudley, I could go on and on. Being born and raised in Chicago was great. Now that I live in Virginia, all I can say is Thank God for RUclips.
@@juliereminiec4937 Good ol' "Gar." I remember Frazier Thomas, Garfield Goose, and some of the other puppets' heads but not their names. I ALWAYS watched Garfield Goose after school. Suzie Snowflake and Hardrock, Coco, and Joe were my wintertime favorites. Never liked Clutch Cargo or Space Angel very much. Gosh, childhoods used to be full of discovery, surprise, imagination and fantasy. I think today's kids are missing a lot of that.
I was mesmerized by this as a kid. There is something so magical in this simplistic musical presentation that still feels just as magical today as it did 60 years ago. It’s true - if it ever existed on film, you can find it on RUclips. This will really feel like a magical Christmas this year. Thank you for posting one of my most favorite Christmas remembrances.
I was born in the late fall of 1978 in central Kentucky! I of course have the CDC and record album of the original Rosemary Clooney's 1951 recording of Suzy Snowflake! The very pretty and extremely talented Mary Lou Metzger was Suzy Snowflake sang and danced with Frosty the Snowman along with very pretty singer, pianist, songwriter and dancer Gail Farrel on a Christmas Special on The Lawence Weal Show! It is posted on You Tube! It is excellent! This 1951 brilliant, classic clever, entertaining, excellent and fun stop animated musical movie short is perfect! The singers, the soloist are excellent and fantastic! Thank you very much for posting and sharing this! I love it! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! God Bless! Peace on Earth!
I used to watch this along with Frosty and Hardrock Cocoa and Joe on WJAC channel 6, Johnstown's NBC affiliate as a little girl. I live all the way over in Selinsgrove (and before that lived in Lewisburg) but my parents had an antenna on the roof growing until I was 10, the signal wasn't very clear but I didn't care, I loved watching these. Sometimes these came in good at night. I haven't seen this since 2003. Thank you so much for posting this. I was born in 1993, my birthday is December 8, so I'll be 26 then. I love that this 26 year old Millennial can share her memories with all of you and we have this common bond.
I watched this on WJAC Johnstown (Moxham) too, "serving millions from atop the Alleghenies" but I was 33 when you were born and living in Reading by then. I only remember Suzie and Hardrock but I think there were others from Chicago at that time. The animation is so bad, the soundtrack is scary scratchy, the songs sound like the 50s, but these are the most treasured videos we have, very early local America.
What a wonderful blast from the past. As a child in the 50's I watched this every Saturday before Christmas on Chanel 6 in Johnstown, Pa. For years I had unsuccessfully tried to buy a copy. Today it finally dawned on me to check RUclips. Thanks. I will resume watching it every Christmas!
This is my honey's favorite christmas song. She's been one now 6 years and the tears fall whenever i hear it. We spent 39 years or Christmas' Wish the Heart wood stop Hurting.....so i sit playing Christmas songs without her....she knew that that's what i do ! My therapy
Live in S.E Wisconsin. Garfield Goose & Friends played this every season along with "Hardrock, Coco & Joe". I'll be 60 in May and really miss those times. I feel lucky to have lived in that era.
This was my favorite. Around Christmas time my grandmother would make sure I was awake earlier than usual so I wouldn't miss it. Ray Raner, Fraser Thomas, Garfield Goose, and Cuddly Duddly. Garfield Goose would come on and I would be glued to the television set. Then I would dance around the room to this and of course Hard Rock, Coco and Joe. It would still be dark outside. Its some of my favorite childhood memories.
Christmas was a magical time. Such a simple story but it meant Christmas was near and it was time to think of what mom and dad would approve of us asking Santa to bring. Wonderful time to be a kid in the 60’s.
There was a certain melancholy to this one in particular re: the transient nature of life. "Come on everyone and play with me, I haven't long to stay". Always loved Norma on the Lawrence Welk show.
Hello my name is Mark Williams, I'm 61 years old, my sister started a tradition in Nov. 1963 when I was 3 years old of watching Suzy Snowflake on tv, I am from Longview Texas and I also am a great fan of the greatest rock group ever, From Chicago The New Colony Six on Centaur Records. I know it's early but I sincerely wish you All a very merry Christmas.
I am now 75. As a boy in the Chicago-land area, I grew up with Garfield Goose and Frasier Thomas! Wonderful memories of when Chicago was a great city and not the democrat-destroyed hole it is now!
Got that right!!! Grew up,worked, and retired in the Chicagoland area. Once i retired i got the heck out of Illinois!!! men in blue jeans built this country, men in suits destroyed it.
My mama sang this song in first grade ! This brings back so many childhood memories for me ! Bozo Circus, Romper Room, Ray Rayner, and Frazier Thomas 😢
SUZY SNOWFLAKE by Sidney Temper and Roy C. Bennett 🎵 Here comes Suzy Snowflake, dressed in a Snow White gown. 🎵 🎵 Tap-tap-tapping on your window pains, to tell you she's in town. 🎵 🎵 Here comes Suzy Snowflake, soon you will hear her say... 🎵 🎵 "Come on everyone and play with me. I haven't long to stay. 🎵 🎵 If you wanna make a snowman, I'll help you make one, one-two-three. 🎵 🎵 If you wanna take a sleigh ride, the ride's on me." 🎵 🎵 Here comes Suzy Snowflake, look at her tumbling down. 🎵 🎵 Bringing joy to every girl and boy, Suzy's come to town. 🎵
Along with Bell Telephone's double puppetoon presentation of "A Visit With St. Nick" and "The Nativity", this was an annual tradition to which my siblings and I looked forward to being broadcast on TV at Christmas time. Thank you for sharing it. Very nostalgic!
I first saw this short in the documentary "Bozo, Gar, and Ray". Actually a real charming short. Beautifully animated, and the song itself is very catchy.
Shown annually at Christmas time on NBC affiliate, WJAC-TV in Johnstown, PA. (Serving millions from atop the Alleghenies). Shown serially with "Hardrock, Coco and Joe" and "Frosty the Snowman"
Same here, and it’s been around for 68 years. I’d love to see if someone could clean up the film so we could see the animation clearly and sharply - as the artists themselves saw it when they created it. It’s so beautiful, it would probably be magnificent to see all the detail.
Oh my gosh! I just saw this! What is up with the thumbs down? I can be the year-round Grinch but my goodness! Somebody must be the Grinch for real with those thumbs-down!
Lost my mother last year due to chf, liver disease, and diabetes ..and then Covid did her in on December 15th she was only 59 and fought till the end....and she used to love this believe it or not because it made her sad and it helped her rwmber her mother and father. She lost her mother at 20 after 17yrs of breast cancer and her dad at 34 due to stroke and heart attack. It helped her remember being a little kid and being care free and now this has brought me to tears and will every year when I hear it and I feel lucky at 38 to have 4 extra years with her tham she did with her father..
Condolences on the loss of your mother last yeor this does make the holiday a little harder and I can understand and relate as my mom passed away on New Year's Day 2022 from covid at the age of 89.. Try and keep good memories of all your time with her in the forefront as you go through this season. Peace be with you
Only recently found you, but I love both you RUclips content and your music. You video did make sense and it’s good that you can verbalize your feelings. Keep shredding 😎
OMGoodness! In a facility where I worked this was played over and over and over and over until it reached the point that when it came over the sound system you could hear doors slamming shut to keep out the sound. It was a different recording but omgoodness it was beyond annoying.
I wish Suzy Snowflake was just as popular as all the Christmas or holiday characters for kids! She’s the perfect girlfriend for Jack Frost because they both symbolize the aspects of winter Itself.⛄️☃️💎🧊🌨💙🤍
Growing up in Chicago, this was my favorite Christmas tv kids program. It was magical...
This used to be shown on "Garfield Goose" w/ Frazier Thomas on WGN every Christmas, when I was a kid. Over 40 years later, I came home one Christmas, saw it on a WGN special late that Christmas Eve, and still remembered the lyrics.
I woke up twice this week with this song in my mind, and i haven't heard it in years...I am not age 61. ;)

Takes me back to Ray Rayner along with Hardrock, Coco and Joe.😊

@Patricia Arnold
Me, too for RUclips; and these wonderful childhood memories. Every one mentioned, I remember. 🥰
Now I'm going to listen to Hardrock, Coco and Joe...
I think of my sisters and brother back in the early 60's how i cry listening to this so many memories .
As a Chicago kid this was and still is a must see video to stoke the childhood holiday memories. This is superior video quality👍🏻
Yes, it is lovely...
Do you remember Garfield Goose, LaNetta?

It's hard to imagine a time when there was such innocence in the world.
I never seen the video until now but I do remember the song. Last time I heard it I was six years old. I found it a blessing to hear it again.

Shades of my first grade Christmas part in the Horner Street School in Johnstown! How nice.

Only 50s & 60s kids will remember this on TV around Christmas Time. 📺
80's kid in chicago has you beat
I first saw this short in the documentary "Bozo, Gar, and Ray". Actually a real charming short. Beautifully animated, and the song itself is very catchy.
WoW! Never saw or heard this until today! Thanks for posting this. Love the stop-motion animation created by Wah Ming Chang!
I dressed up like her for Halloween one year. I live in Portland Oregon, and no one knew who I was...LOL
Did you used to live in Chicago?
Shown annually at Christmas time on NBC affiliate, WJAC-TV in Johnstown, PA. (Serving millions from atop the Alleghenies). Shown serially with "Hardrock, Coco and Joe" and "Frosty the Snowman"
They still play this every year around Christmas on our local NBC station in Pennsylvania. Crazy that I’ve viewed this for around 50 years!
Same here, and it’s been around for 68 years. I’d love to see if someone could clean up the film so we could see the animation clearly and sharply - as the artists themselves saw it when they created it. It’s so beautiful, it would probably be magnificent to see all the detail.
Lucky you!
The children in my family watched it along with Hardrock, Cocoa and Joe on The Garfield Goose Show.
I remember this and the three little dwarfs playing on the Bozo circus growing up in Chicago
1:14 I love how the snowman she made looks like frosty
That was right on with our weather.🥰
Oh my gosh! I just saw this! What is up with the thumbs down? I can be the year-round Grinch but my goodness! Somebody must be the Grinch for real with those thumbs-down!
I have no reason now to be Grinchy after 19 years. This is all thanks to God for sending my baby boy to me.
I loved this as a little girl in northeast Ohio.
So many precious memories.
I looked it up suzy snowflake came out 1951
Merry Christmas to you and. Jill

Chicago better a memory, than a slog in the slush. They will be playing these cartoons in the 2050s.
Only recently found you, but I love both you RUclips content and your music. You video did make sense and it’s good that you can verbalize your feelings. Keep shredding 😎
OMGosh! I remember this! Thanks so much!
i remember this when i was a little girl in ri they showed this every year and then they stopped showing it i loved it 😊😊😊😊😊
Who's watching Christmas time 2020? 🧡🧡❄️
I was a Chicago kid in the 60s. I liked Suzy Snowflake the best. Something haunting about the song and the different keys it was sang it.
Yeah. All the singers in this were absolutely top notch.....Norma Zimmer...angelic.
Couldn't agree more
I'm only 21 but I grew up in Chicagoland and my parents grew up with this stuff so they incorporated this kind of stuff into my childhood as well.
@Putple456
What a blessing to have your parents incorporate these memories from them to you. I grew up in the Chicago land during the 50s-70s.
If you grew up in Chicago you will definitely remember this from GARFIELD GOOSE AND FRIENDS (with host Frasier Thomas). Also, HARDROCK, COCO, AND JOE😅
Dang. Remember this as a child
I remember!
Greatest rock group ever The New Colony Six on Centaur Records from Chicago
Love this!
As Seen on Ray Rayner and His Friends
Sweet.
This used to creep me out when I was a kid.
Typo on my part I mean CD and Record Album of Rosemary Clooney's 1951 original recording.
We sang this in assembly in the Philadelphia public schools
Beautiful! Was this made by Rankin Bass?
No, this was made by Centaur Productions.
As Seen on Captain Tugg
As Seen on Garfield Goose and Friends
As Seen on Captain Kangaroo
Wow!
My childhood
I sang this over and over. My wife finally told me to shut up
The start of the video isn't what I remember, only when it comes up with the song's title then it is same.
A Hoot!
❄⛄
♥️❄️♥️❄️♥️❄️♥️❄️♥️❄️♥️
It says music by Roy Brodsky not Roy Bennett
Ahhhhh… who’s watching in 2021..
As Seen on Philly 57’s Bozo Show
OMGoodness! In a facility where I worked this was played over and over and over and over until it reached the point that when it came over the sound system you could hear doors slamming shut to keep out the sound. It was a different recording but omgoodness it was beyond annoying.
Lol! Moderation is always the key.
As Seen on WGN-TV's Bozo Show

Creepy 😢
Hated this then and hate it now! Absolutely awful and completely terrifying.

Creepy
I wish Suzy Snowflake was just as popular as all the Christmas or holiday characters for kids! She’s the perfect girlfriend for Jack Frost because they both symbolize the aspects of winter Itself.⛄️☃️💎🧊🌨💙🤍
