How to Say Merry Christmas in Italian

The most common and direct way to say Merry Christmas in Italian is Buon Natale

Ti auguro Buon Natale, I wish you a Merry Christmas.

However, there are other expressions that are used as well.

Buone Feste corresponds to the English Happy Holidays and implies best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. You could also say, tanti auguri di buone feste, best wishes for a happy holiday season.

Slightly more formal, used in writing rather than in person: Auguri di un Natale sereno (best wishes for a peaceful Christmas). For example, if you’re sending a card to someone in Italy, you could write:  "Auguro a te (or ‘lei’ if you don’t know the person well) e alla tua (‘sua’ if using lei) famiglia un sereno Natale e un felice anno nuovo (I wish you and your family a peaceful Christmas and a happy New Year).

If you want to be fancy and try a slightly longer phrase (why not?!), you could say: Ti auguro un Natale pieno di amore, pace e gioia sincera, My best wishes for a Christmas filled with love, peace and sincere joy.

So now you have a few options for how to say Merry Christmas in Italian, but what about the ‘Happy New Year’ part?

Let’s take a look.

How to Say Happy New Year in Italian

Happy New Year is Felice Anno Nuovo, as in Ti auguro un felice anno nuovo (I wish you a Happy New Year). You use ‘ti’ if you’re talking/writing to one person you know well, ‘le’ if you’re writing to one person you don’t know very well or have a formal relationship with, and ‘vi’ if you’re writing to a group of people, say a family. Le auguro un felice anno nuovo, vi auguro un felice anno nuovo.

You could also use related expressions, such as, Auguri per un felice 2022 – Best wishes for a happy 2022, or Auguri di buon anno, best wishes for a good new year.

How to Write a Christmas Card in Italian

Now let’s put together what we’ve seen so far to write a sample Christmas card so you can wish your loved ones Merry Christmas in Italian.

Caro/a/i/e (Dear – o for male singular, a for female singular, i for plural, e for female plural) – name -,

Ti/Vi (ti for singular, vi for plural) auguro Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo!

Con affetto (with love),

-Signature

The version above is the simplest. If you want something fancier, here’s another example.

Carissimo/i ____,

I miei migliori auguri per un Natale pieno di amore e pace, e per tanta gioia, serenità e salute nell’anno nuovo (My very best wishes for a Christmas filled with love and peace and for a New Year filled with joy, serenity and health).
