How to say Merry Christmas in all the languages of the World

Christmas, from being an exclusively Christian holiday, has spread in its own way all over the world, so much so that today it is possible to say Merry Christmas in all languages (or almost!). Of course, if we consider that there are around 8000 languages spoken on planet Earth, it’s difficult to provide a complete list, but in this post, we’ve listed as many languages as we could.

Let’s start with the greetings in the most popular languages, and then you’ll find a list of how to wish a happy Christmas in many countries! P.S.: M.C.= Merry Christmas



How to say Merry Christmas in all the most common languages:🎄

1. Merry Christmas!

Used in:

Also common in the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Fiji, and if you happen to be there at that time of year, even in Antarctica!

2. Nollaig Shona Dhuit!

Irish greeting, for those who always want to stand out!

3. Feliz Navidad!

This is the way you can wish a Happy Christmas in almost all Spanish-speaking countries

4. Boas Festas!

This is how people exchange greetings in Portugal!

5. Feliz Natal!

That’s how you wish a Happy Christmas in Brazilian!

6. Joyeux Noël!

For French speakers, Joyeux Noël is the formula used for Christmas greetings. In France of course, and many parts of Canada. You will also hear it in many African countries, if you decide to visit Burkina Faso, Burundi, and Cameroon, or if you find yourself in Chad, Congo, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Togo!

7. Zalig Kerstfeest!

This is the wish you hear in Dutch-speaking countries.

8. Frohliche Weihnachten!

It will make the Germans smile, and if you’re in Liechtenstein it will still be welcome. In Switzerland there’s a slight variation; there they say “Fröhlichi Wiehnacht!”.

If you’re in Austria, you’ll have to pronounce something less demanding: it’s just “Frohe Weihnachten”.

9. Buon Natale!

You can also say “Buon Natale” in San Marino, in some parts of Switzerland and someone might even understand you in Malta, Corsica or Libya.

10. Milad Mubarak!

Even in the Middle East, some people celebrate this event. You’ll be wished “Milad Mubarak!” in Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, and if you spend a night in Tunisia…

“Natal Mubarak” is the Indian variant, and in Pakistan, they say “Bara Din Mubarrak Ho!” (not “Ho Ho”).



11. Mo’adim Lesimkha!

This is how they say Happy Christmas in Israel.

12. Gézuar Krishlindjet!

There is only one place where you will hear this wish, and that is Albania. It’s also how they say “Greetings!” or “Cheers!” when they drink. Gézuar!

Near Albania, in Greece, they say “Eftihismena Christougenna!”



13. Sretan Bozic!

This is the Croatian wish, but if you’re heading to Eastern Europe, there are variations for every country:

14. Merii Kurisumasu!

That’s how they wish Happy Christmas in Japan. Let’s not forget the other Asian nations:

In Hong Kong they say “Sing dan fiy loc” and in Korea “Sung Tan Chuk Ha“. In Mandarin Chinese, take a deep breath and try saying “Kung His Hsin Nien Bing Chu Shen Tan“.

Further south, they say “Chuc Mung Giang Sinh” in Vietnam, and in Thailand, they say “Sawasdee Pee Mai”
