The Royal Guardsmen were 5 guys from Ocala, Florida. They recorded a quartet of songs inspired by Snoopy the Beagle in the “Peanuts” comic strip between 1967 and 1968.
This was the third in the list of Snoopy songs.This was rereleased around Christmas the following 2 years.
Two lines from the traditional song “O Tannenbaum” (the German version of “O Christmas Tree”) are featured at the very beginning of this song.
This song takes place during World War I, and follows up on “Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron,” where Snoopy is a fighter pilot. In “Snoopy’s Christmas,” The Red Baron decides not to shoot Snoopy down, but forces him to land and gives him a Christmas gift.
Song Lyrics:
The news it came out in the First World War
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more
The Allied Command ignored all of its men
And called on Snoopy to do it again
Was the night before Christmas and forty below
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
He spied the Red Baron and fiercely they fought
With ice on his wings, Snoopy knew he was caught
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ring out from the land
Asking peace of all the world
And good will to man
The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight
Why he didn’t shoot, well, we’ll never know
Or was it the bells from the village below
Refrain
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man
The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out “Merry Christmas, mein friend!”
The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Snoopy our hero saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they’d meet on some other day
Refrain twice

Fun fact: During the first World War in 1914, the allied and german forces called a temporary ceasefire and spent Christmas with each other. This song is probably a reference to that, since the Red Baron is also a figure from World War 1.
This Song used to be played on the radio along with many other songs every December until 10 or 20 years ago. Now you rarely hear any Christmas songs.
Snoopy is my favorite character of all time. I remember the first time I heard this around Christmas as a kid in the car with my mom and I was so amazed Snoopy had his own Christmas song, this song is a must for me to hear at Christmas time, sad that radio stations barely play it anymore during the holidays!
Amen
Gotta love Snoopy. He still is Joe Cool
Best Christmas song ever
I wish these guys had recorded a full version O Tannebaum, seeing how their rendition of the second verse is so... so "Yes. THAT is O Tannebaum."
I remember this

Snoopy's Christmas (O Natal do Snoopy) - The Royal Guardsmen - 1967
Traduzido do Alemão:
Ó Árvore de Natal Ó Árvore de Natal
Eu gosto muito de você!
A notícia saiu na Primeira Guerra Mundial
Que o maldito Barão Vermelho estava voando mais uma vez
O comando Aliado ignorou todos os seus homens
E convocou Snoopy para fazer isso de novo
Foi na noite anterior ao Natal, 40 graus abaixo
Quando Snoopy subiu em busca de seu inimigo
Ele avistou o Barão Vermelho, eles lutaram ferozmente
Com gelo nas asas, Snoopy sabia que foi pego
Sinos de Natal, aqueles sinos de Natal
Tocando pela terra
Pedindo paz a todo o mundo
E boa vontade para o homem
O Barão tinha Snoopy morto em sua mira
Ele pegou o gatilho para puxá-lo com força
Por que ele não atirou, bem, nunca saberemos
Ou foram os sinos da aldeia abaixo?
Sinos de Natal, aqueles sinos de Natal
Tocando pela terra
Trazendo paz para todo o mundo
E boa vontade para o homem
O Barão fez Snoopy voar para o Reno
E forçou-o a pousar atrás das linhas inimigas
Snoopy tinha certeza de que esse era o fim
Quando o Barão gritou: "Feliz Natal, meu amigo!"
O Barão então ofereceu um brinde de feriado
E Snoopy, nosso herói, saudou seu anfitrião
E então com um rugido ambos estavam a caminho
Cada um sabendo que se encontrariam em outro dia
Sinos de Natal, aqueles sinos de Natal
Tocando pela terra
Pedindo paz a todo o mundo
E boa vontade para o homem
Sinos de Natal, aqueles sinos de Natal
Tocando pela terra
Pedindo paz a todo o mundo
E boa vontade para o homem
Compositores: George David Weiss / Hugo Peretti / Luigi Creatore
I just listened to this for the first-time last night. Haven't stopped listening since.
