Merry Christmas and Joyful New Yr
You may say, "Joyful Christmas".
Or, "Season's greetings".
"Festive greetings."
However we usually say, "(A really) Merry Christmas and Joyful New Yr".
The phrase, "Christmas", is usually shortened in casual writing to "Xmas".
"Festive" is an adjective to explain issues to do with Christmas. A casual adjective is "Christmassy".

Christmas is widely known by most individuals within the UK, though we should do not forget that not everybody does.
It's celebrated within the UK historically as a Christian pageant, however atheists have fun too.
