This is going to be quite brief because 1967 was the first year in chart history that no Christmas records charted. But we can take a look at what was actually at the top end of the Christmas charts that year.
The Christmas number one was the final Christmas number one from the Beatles with "Hello Goodbye". It was a good end to the year for the Beatles who began the year ending their streak of every official single release reaching number one since 1963. The had a second record not reach number one this year, but this was the Christmas number two, "Magical Mystery Tour EP", so its failure to reach the top spot was probably seen as no bad thing given it was prevented by one of their own records.
The Christmas number three came from the holder of the previous years Christmas number one, Tom Jones with "I'm Coming Home", seemingly he was unable to compete with the Beatles at Christmas when the actually released a record.
