No.
You may wish one a "very happy New Year's Day" or a "very happy New Year's." In such case, you are wishing one happiness for the holiday, and would be a capitalized proper noun. However, when using the non-possessive form of the word "year" you are clearly wishing happiness for the entire year, which is not a proper noun and not capitalized
