Italian term or phrase: BUONISSIMO NATALE
Lavoro in un'azienda alimentare. L'immagine della cartolina natalizia è una forchetta con il cappellino da Babbo Natale e l'augurio è "buonissimo natale". Sono in difficoltà con la versione inglese per via del "buono". Avevo pensato a " we wish you a tasty Christmas". che ve ne pare?

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
Explanation:
A tasty Christmas would translate back as a "gustoso natale", but a "gustosissimo natale" "a very tasty Christmas" would be an idea for a food company, but of course it doesn't translate BUONISSIMO NATALE.
