"'Suzy Snowflake'" is a song written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett, made famous by Rosemary Clooney in 1951 and released as a 78 RPM record by Columbia Records, MJV-123.
Suzy is a snowflake playfully personified. It is commonly regarded as a Christmas song, although it makes no mention of the holiday. The child-oriented lyrics celebrate the fun of winter.
A cartoon short based on the song was made in 1953 by Centaur Productions, with stop-motion animation created by Wah Ming Chang. It is annually shown during the Christmas season on WGN-TV in Chicago[http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/feed-mind-nourish-soul/2012/dec/19/christmas-boomer-classics-return-hardrock-coco-joe/] and WJAC-TV in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, along with another production by Centaur, "Hardrock, Coco and Joe" and an early UPA version of "Frosty the Snowman".
Clooney later re-recorded the song for her 1978 Mistletoe Records album 'Christmas with Rosemary Clooney'. It has been covered by other artists, most notably Soul Coughing in 1997.
