Apollo 8. What a GREAT way to celebrate Christmas. I have very fond memories of that TV transmission. People now days only seem to remember Apollo 11, the first landing. But the first mission to leave low Earth orbit was almost as awesome, at the time.

That would be Apollo 8 you are thinking about, during their historic first manned flight around the moon.
The astronauts read from the book of Genesis on Christmas Eve, 1968.
