Buone Feste
Explanation:
Season's greetings is a way, in English, to avoid making a reference to Christian festivities, and to extend good wishes to people who belong to other creeds and religions.
If you want to maintain no reference to Christmas then you can use the widely used "Buone Feste" (literally: happy festivities). If you want to make reference to Christmas per se, then you can say "Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo", that is you have to include in the "season" also the New Year.

Auguri di Natale


Explanation:
"Auguri di Natale" is the literally translation, but if you are translating a Christmas card I would rather say "Auguri di Buon Natale"...it sounds "more Italian" to me!!!!
