FAQ: Common holiday greeting questions
The best holiday greeting is one that feels sincere, matches the relationship you have with the recipient, and captures the spirit of the season.
An example is: “Wishing you a wonderful holiday season filled with joy, peace, and all the things that matter most to you.”
This works for personal and professional settings because it’s warm yet universal.
A simple, inclusive greeting works best. For example:
“Happy holidays! May this season bring you happiness, good health, and lasting memories with your loved ones.”
These wishes for Christmas and the New Year work well across different beliefs and cultures.
When wishing someone well for their holiday, focus on warmth, positivity, and the essence of the season.
A thoughtful choice is: “Wishing you a season filled with love, laughter, and all the joys that make the holidays special.”
Adapt the tone for friends, family, or business partners by adjusting the level of formality.
A good holiday message to colleagues expresses your appreciation while keeping it light and friendly.
For example: “Merry Christmas and happy holidays to a fantastic team. May the season fill you with joy, and may the year ahead bring success in both your professional and personal life.”
