I've just received additional feedaback on your translation. I was told that "Dank je..is less formal (talking to your friends)" as compared to " Dank u (used to address older people)".
So your translation suits my needs perfectly well.
Thank you so much for your help and season's greetings.
I also wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

Explanation:
One could also use the impolite form of 'je' instead of the polite form 'u'. However in this context the word 'u' is probably more appropiate.
