I'm struggling to find it, are you sure it isn't an older song that's been adapted to metal?
Cuz I'm pretty sure you're talking about Shchedryk and that... definitely isn't metal.
I'm unsure of its origins, but the badass metal version I'm familiar with is by Tran-Siberian Orchestra.

Edit: I also can't hear this song without hearing "ding fries are done", so here's that as well. Please enjoy this artifact from the ancient internet.

And of course, Family Guy ripped it off.

"Ding fries are done" is solid ancient internet, but these days I feel a little icky for laughing at it. Its not outright making fun of developmentally-disabled people, but it's adjacent enough to be a bit... like "it was a different time" kind of humor.
Yes this is Shchedryk, I love Trans Siberian Orchestra but the song definitely did not start as folk metal song. Just had to set the record straight.
Edit: Also I'm not disputing that the metal versions are epic, just the origins. I think the OG is pretty epic too.
Edit2: Oooooh
I think everybody else understood that to be a joke, not a serious misunderstanding of the song's origin.
Ooooooooh
Have you heard the Trans-Siberian Orchestra mashup of Carol of the Bells and God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen called Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12/24?
