word choice - Christmas wishes to multiple persons


Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!




I believe that will serve your purpose (and if you were addressing more than two people, you could replace "both" with "all").



As to the correctness of "Wishing you Alice and Bob Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year," I think it suffers a comma deficiency and should be: "Wishing you, Alice and Bob, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." I still find that clunky, but it's correct.
