    "Ton Xristougennon kampanes". It's not just similar, it actually is "Silver Bells". I think Thanos Kalliris was the first to sing it in Greek, then Kaiti recorded her (better) version.

    I believe you're talking about Cliff Richard's "Mistletoe and Wine". Mixalis Xatzigiannis did a cover of it some 10 years ago, it's called - surprise! - "Xristougenna".

    It's Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
    Children singing Christian rhyme
    With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
    A time to rejoice in the good that we see

    Xristougenna, ola giortina
    Antixoun ta osanna
    Dentrakia, stolidia, tragoudi, xara
    I agapi ksipnaei vathia stin kardia

    P.S. Here are the complete lyrics:

    Hristougenna (Mistletoe and Wine)
    Mihalis Hatzigiannis

    The child is a king, the carollers sing
    The old has passed, there's a new beginning
    Dreams of Santa, dreams of snow
    Fingers numb, faces aglow

    It's Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
    Children singing Christian rhyme
    With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
    A time to rejoice in the good that we see

    It's a time for giving, a time for getting
    A time for forgiving and for forgetting
    Christmas is love, Christmas is peace
    A time for hating and fighting to cease

    It's Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
    Children singing Christian rhyme
    With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
    A time to rejoice in the good that we see

    Hristougenna, ola yortina
    Andihoun ta osanna
    Dendrakia, stolidia, tragoudi, hara
    I agapi xipnai vathia stin kardia

    Sti gi mas irini, pandou kalosini
    Ke s'olo ton kosmo adelfosini
    Me pixida tis fatnis t'asteri
    I aya mera elpida tha feri

    Hristougenna, ola yortina
    Andihoun ta osanna
    Dendrakia, stolidia, tragoudi, hara
    I agapi xipnai vathia stin kardia

    It's Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
    Children singing Christian rhyme
    With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
    A time to rejoice in the good that we see

    The Greek part in Greek characters:

    Χριστούγεννα, όλα γιορτινά
    Αντηχούν τα ωσαννά
    Δεντράκια, στολίδια, τραγούδι, χαρά
    Η αγάπη ξυπνάει βαθιά στην καρδιά

    Στη Γη μας ειρήνη, παντού καλοσύνη
    Και σ' όλο τον κόσμο αδελφοσύνη
    Με πυξίδα της φάτνης τ' αστέρι
    Η άγια μέρα ελπίδα θα φέρει
