yuletide greetings

December festive wishes

Yuletide greetings are seasonal well-wishes exchanged during the Christmas period.

Yuletide is an old-fashioned or deliberately quaint term for the Christmas season, so the phrase carries a traditional, nostalgic tone: The card bore yuletide greetings in gold script.

It appears on holiday cards, in formal announcements, and in deliberately old-timey expressions of Christmas cheer.
