English term or phrase: season's greetings
or happy holidays. To be included on personalized greeting cards.
Julia
Russian translation:рПЪДТБЧМСА У РТБЪДОЙЛБНЙ!
Explanation:
The reason for using this phrase is the abundance of the season spanning late November to mid-January in different holidays of different religions (such as Christmas for Christians, Chanukkah for Jews, etc.). Since you cannot always know what faith the recipients of your greetings are, "рПЪДТБЧМСА У РТБЪДОЙЛБНЙ!" would be the safest thing to say or write, without being specific as to which holidays you are talking about.

schastlivogo rozhdestva, s novym godom, etc.


Explanation:
This depends on the exact holiday the card is being send for. But I fully agree with the above that the safest way is "schastlivyh prazdnikov" if you are not sure about he holiday in question.
