What is 'Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year' in Japanese?

Answer 1

Japanese people do not have any Christmas greetings. Their Christmas greeting is the same as the English ones but with Japanese pronunciation. They say it as Meri Kurisumasu. New Year greetings are more common. They say akemashite omedetou, yoi otoshi o omukae kudasai, or simply yoi otoshi o.

Answer 2

Gasei, gashou, kingashinnen, aketeomedetougozaimasu, and akeome are all ways of saying "Happy New Year" in Japanese. However, as far as I'm aware, "Merry Christmas" is the same as it is in English. Or, if you want to be technical, "meriikurisumasu".

Hope this helps, and a very meriikurisumasu and akeome to you as well!

(PS: "to", pronounced like "toe", is Japanese for "and", as far as I know. Thus, to technically say the full phrase you requested, it would be something like "Meriikurisumaru to akeome.")
