I'm 28 & my My grandmother was one of the singers of this song. Her name is Nancy Gellman. I don't really know too much about Hard Rock CoCo and Joe or Suzy Snoqflake other than that..
To me, Christmas isn't all about presents. It's about watching Suzy Snowflake and Hard Rock, Coco and Joe, the best Christmas films to me. I hope these memories never fade away(:
I was unaware of this song until I heard it on the music channel one night. Cute. Great video too. Funny thing is I remember 1950s Xmas TV but somehow they slipped Suzy by me.
Gosh I remember this well from my childhood in Erie, PA--seems she got wide play in my native state, lol...tx for posting it, have wanted to see it again for a long time!
I'm only 25 and I caught the tail end of the Bozo legacy. Every year, "Hardrock, Coco, and Joe" and this is playing and my mother sings to it like clockwork.
Oh my, I just found this. I grew up in NY and this marked the beginning of the Christmas season. And it wasn't a commercial for anything, it was shown between programs. Can you imagine something being aired on TV without a bottom line being considered? Not today, that's for sure.
wow this really brings back memories to those who grew up to the old christmas shows on tv each year. Something to definatly share with your kids and grandkids, these type of films like the walt disney movies never die...
Back when I was aa kid, we could only get one channel---WJAC TV in JOHNSTOWN,PA :"Serving millions from atop the Alleghanies". This was a standard local favorite during the hollidays.
Thanks for posting this. I sing it to my daughter to drive her crazy. LOL. I'm originally from the Boston area and this is the first Christmas cartoon I remember.
@Nightmysts They were made for WGN television in Chicago first, along with Frosty and Hardrock Coco and Joe !! Wjac played them also, but Wikipedia says, Chicago initially !!
My parents spent Christmas at our cabin for years and this along with Hardrock, coco and Joe and Frosty were their highlights for the two weeks they stayed there> What memories.
Thanks for the post. I stumbled on this when WGN (I think) ran it on Xmas Eve a few years ago. I had not heard this tune for maybe 50 years since I was a little kid. This ran on some Dayton, OH, TV stations and maybe Cincy or Columbus back in the mid to late 50's. It really took me back. The animation (I guess stop action) looks kind of primitive by today's standards but was fascinating to a kid back in those days.
@meatwarrior That is so wonderful to hear. As a young boy in Pennsylvania during the mid 60's, this song heralded the beginning of the Christmas season...and there indeed would be snow, and everything nice! I love this piece. You know, Miss Rosemary Clooney recorded the original studio version sometime in the late 50's.
@Plink1023 That's funny. I'm in SLC, UT right now at work showing some guys this and I grew up in Moxham and then Bonair/Conemaugh area. We don't get this stuff out here.
Wow this is too awesome for words i was three yrs old and loved this and never forgot it.My kids have no idea what i have been talking about- THANK YOU so much!!!!
I first saw this on WGN when I was 4 living in the Hyde Park neighborhood in Chicago and I still love it 26 years later. My mom was 9 when this first came out and it's still her fave too and she sings it every Christmas. Plus if you ain't from Chicago and got something negative to say, please keep your ugly comments to yourself and off this video!
I grew up on the north side of Chicago, have been in FL for 12 years now....I'm 47 and just hearing the opening bars of this little tune takes me back...I can almost see the tree in the living room, the windows on the front porch frozen over....trying to use my hand to melt a spot so I could see the lights on the houses across the street.... the warm memories...from a life time ago..I remember Ray Rayner in the morning, Garfield Goose in the afternoon... Happy Holidays CHICAGO!!!!

Happy Holidays CHICAGO!!!!
I'm 42, and I still have the 45's my mom bought me of this song, and Hardrock Coco and Joe. So nice to watch these at Christmastime. I turn into a 3 yr old again for just a few minutes. : )
What a blast from the past I can't say how many times in my life both this song & Hardrock Coco & Joe have loop played in my head LOL Good old Gar & Frazier Thomas. My late husband was friends of the Newtons (mama & papa of Garfield Goose) and I had the honor of meeting them.
I live in Johnstown PA and yes WJAC does own the cartoons but I aboslutely live them I'm 14 and I remember my grandmother telling me she used to love Susie Snowflake and when I was littler I use to run to the TV at the sound of Susie, Hardrock Coco and Joe, and Frosty and I will always live them! I couldn't imagine christmas without them! they start tomorrow!
I remember my mom teaching me this when I was very young-today we had the wgn channel on and they had this cartoon on-did'nt recognize it, but then I heard the song!!! Havent thought of it since I was little and still remembered some of the words-reminds me of simpler times-Thanx for the post and the memories!!!
I haven't heard this in years!!! The minute the song started playing I remembered all the words and was singing along; this and Hardrock, Coco, and Joe!
I grew up in Northern Indiana; watching WGN Channel 9 out of Chicago because there were no local TV stations then.
This brings back such lovely memories of being a carefree little girl; before growing boobs and life getting complicated. This song brought tears to my eyes; thank you so much for this post!
I remember watching this and Hard Rock, Cocoa and Joe and also Frosty the Snowman on WJAC in PA. My daughters enjoy watching them via You Tube since I live in Colorado now.
I grew up with Suzy Snowflake. From what I have been told WJAC for Johnstown PA own all the rights to Suzy! Brings back so many awsome memories. A guy a work thought he would get one over on me by singing it...LOL was he surprised when I started singing with him! LOL Thank you so much for the post!
showed my wife this one, frosty and hardrock cocoa and joe, i grew up watching these in cleafrield county as a kid. and my wife thought it was the dumbest thing shes ever seen my oldest daughter just loves them
I have not heard this forever, it has really touched me, I started crying - brings back years of when I was a little girl and Christmas was so very special to me and still is! Now that I have found this, it will be with me every Christmas from here on out. Thank you for posting this on YouTube, I love it!
This videos are great...I grew up in Northbrook, Illinois and Garfield Goose and Frazier Thomas were a big part of my childhood. I love Hardrock, Coco and Joe! Thanks for these great memories.
What a walk down memory lane. I grew up in a suburb near Chicago and I remember watching this on the Garfield Goose program! How I miss Romberg Rabbit! Thanks for sharing.
I have been looking for this for some time...I was a baby when I first heard this in the 50's..what fun to see and hear it again...and on the day of the Blizzard!!
Yes, the cartoon was made by Centaur productions for Chicago's WGN TV channel 9, for Chicago children. It turned popular, and went all over the country !!
Wow , I grew up with this tune and Hardrock , Coco and Joe , and Frosty the Snowman in the early "60's" on WGN Chicago, Garfield Goose and Friends with Frazier Thomas .......Man , I got to share this one with my kids , they have only heard me sing this diddy all their lives and NOT really got it .....God Bless You Tube !!
@lilahfeeholly OMG... I have sang this and Hardrock Coco and Joe to MINE all their lives as well. Now, at 23 and 21 i showed them these videos...and they laughed. Not with joy, but with astonishment at how Tech-simple this was compared to their CGI and video EVERYTHING. NO - THIS is still the best. There was NOTHING better than starting a cold winter's day with these before trudging to school in the Chicago snow.
It's odd...you mention Chicagoland, but the icon in the lower left corner of the screen is from WJAC Channel 6, Johnstown, PA--the station that I used to watch these films on...this one, Frosty the Snowman and The Three Little Elves (Hardrock, Coco and Joe).
This production from Centaur was part of a series that was stop action film, they had a number of "cartoons" that were not animated all with musical productions. I really believe that Tim Burton had to have seen many of these as a child. I saw them from Cape May NJ from a Philadelphia station, NBC affiliate I believe.
Born in 1949.......childhood in the 50's.......raised in Bloomfield, NJ. Throughout my life I have always asked people of my age if they remember "Suzie Snowflake"? That I an extremely vague 'memory' of a snowflake falling ay night, on the side of a house, and "when they panned in, the snowflake was actually a girl"! Only one person my entire life knew what I was talking about! Everyone else thought I was nuts! Such a vague memory....
But thanks to you, it's REAL! OMG-Suzie Snowflake is real!
We watched this on WJAC when I was kid. My mom, who also watched this when she was young, sang this song to us kids when it would begin to snow. We now live in the midwest and so appreciate the memories! Thanks!
WOW! I remember this. I'm 46 and I can remember the floor and television I sat in front of when watching this as a child. Thank you for posting this. smile& tear.
This was the first 16mm film I saw in my grade school. Today I still love it. Notice there is no passing gas, kicking in the crotch, or jive talking smart-dude. By the way, assembly was in the cold gym setting on the floor and Aunt Jemima was the guest speaker and we loved her too. Her name was Ethel Harper bless he soul.
OMG lol i remember seeing this on WJAC outta Johnstown PA....they still show this at christmas and they show hardrock coco and joe. ooooh the memories
I am glad I am an old man who never had to see these creepy holiday videos as a kid. Have you seen the one where Santa has Fangs??? Of course, I live in Pennslyvania so I see these things every year
I remember this "mini video" from when I was a kid in the mid 60's just watching it takes me back to my childhood they don't make christmas videos like this anymore
H.R. 1207 Federal Reserve Transparency Act. This is a bill that will make our money clean. End bailouts of corporate scumbags, and allow us to return to the prosperity we once had in the US.
I grew up in chicago watching Garfield goose where I used to watch this around Christmas time; I love it so much; One of my favorites!! I miss my Grandma!!!!!!!
WOW,, How funny !! I used to watch this on WJAC (serving milions from atop the Alleghenys) while growing up in J-town. I was just singing this to my kids last week when it started to snow and they though I was crazy !!
I was four years old when this song was written! I don't remember exactly when I saw the cartoon on t.v., but it was about my favorite cartoon when I was small. I do have a piece of the first printing (perhaps only printing) of the sheet music. Thanks for this wonderful slide down Memory Lane!
wow! i wish i had found this before christmas. i grew up in chicago watching garfield goose. if you are not from chicago, it's a childs afternnon tv show. they played this during the christmas season. brings back so many wonderful memories!
Iwatched this on WBZ channel 4. It played when it snowed and school was call off. You knew it was going to be a great day when you heard suzy snowflake. At the age of 57 now, when I hear this it brings a tear to my eye wondering where all the years went, and how much I enjoy
I'm 28 & my My grandmother was one of the singers of this song. Her name is Nancy Gellman. I don't really know too much about Hard Rock CoCo and Joe or Suzy Snoqflake other than that..

@lilahfeeholly OMG... I have sang this and Hardrock Coco and Joe to MINE all their lives as well. Now, at 23 and 21 i showed them these videos...and they laughed. Not with joy, but with astonishment at how Tech-simple this was compared to their CGI and video EVERYTHING. NO - THIS is still the best. There was NOTHING better than starting a cold winter's day with these before trudging to school in the Chicago snow.
Ah- great memories!

It's odd...you mention Chicagoland, but the icon in the lower left corner of the screen is from WJAC Channel 6, Johnstown, PA--the station that I used to watch these films on...this one, Frosty the Snowman and The Three Little Elves (Hardrock, Coco and Joe).

I'm from the Boston area, and i'm 62. I remember this when I was just starting school, maybe 1952. may have been on Capt Kangarro!!!

This production from Centaur was part of a series that was stop action film, they had a number of "cartoons" that were not animated all with musical productions. I really believe that Tim Burton had to have seen many of these as a child. I saw them from Cape May NJ from a Philadelphia station, NBC affiliate I believe.

Born in 1949.......childhood in the 50's.......raised in Bloomfield, NJ. Throughout my life I have always asked people of my age if they remember "Suzie Snowflake"? That I an extremely vague 'memory' of a snowflake falling ay night, on the side of a house, and "when they panned in, the snowflake was actually a girl"! Only one person my entire life knew what I was talking about! Everyone else thought I was nuts! Such a vague memory....
But thanks to you, it's REAL! OMG-Suzie Snowflake is real!

It was made in 1953, by the Norman Lubof choir. But Norma Zimmer stood out with the lead vocal!!

It was Norma Zimmer who sang the part of Suzie Snowflake.

And...for some reason it doesn't feel like Winter or Christmas until I see this video on TV or hear the song on the radio.

This was the first 16mm film I saw in my grade school. Today I still love it. Notice there is no passing gas, kicking in the crotch, or jive talking smart-dude. By the way, assembly was in the cold gym setting on the floor and Aunt Jemima was the guest speaker and we loved her too. Her name was Ethel Harper bless he soul.

WOW,, How funny !! I used to watch this on WJAC (serving milions from atop the Alleghenys) while growing up in J-town. I was just singing this to my kids last week when it started to snow and they though I was crazy !!

I was four years old when this song was written! I don't remember exactly when I saw the cartoon on t.v., but it was about my favorite cartoon when I was small. I do have a piece of the first printing (perhaps only printing) of the sheet music. Thanks for this wonderful slide down Memory Lane!

Iwatched this on WBZ channel 4. It played when it snowed and school was call off. You knew it was going to be a great day when you heard suzy snowflake. At the age of 57 now, when I hear this it brings a tear to my eye wondering where all the years went, and how much I enjoy
