If you are anywhere in the Spanish-speaking world this year, chances are there are big celebrations for Christmas right around the corner. If you want to make sure you know how to celebrate Christmas in Spanish and say \u201cmerry Christmas\u201d in Spanish, you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-3920-_dhmq1j7hsuxo\"><\/a>Merry Christmas in Spanish = Feliz Navidad<\/h2>\n<p>There is really only one way to literally say \u201cmerry Christmas\u201d in Spanish and that is \u201cFeliz Navidad\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If you are spending time with Spanish speakers this Christmas, this is the main phrase you will hear on and around Christmas day. \u201cFeliz Navidad\u201d literally translates to \u201chappy Christmas\u201d. It is a pretty straightforward, one-size-fits-all kind of deal, so you can\u2019t really go wrong. One thing to note is that Navidad refers to both Christmas day itself, and the entire period between December 24 and January 6.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably heard the Feliz Navidad (I Wanna Wish You a Merry Christmas) song by Jos\u00e9 Feliciano. This song made \u201cmerry Christmas\u201d in Spanish famous all around the world, which makes it easier for you as a Spanish learner.<\/p>\n<p>So if you ever forget how to say \u201cmerry Christmas\u201d in Spanish, think of this song and it should come back to you.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m6zXgiKhTus\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The rest of the lyrics say <em>pr\u00f3spero a\u00f1o y felicidad<\/em>, meaning \u201cprosperous new year and happiness\u201d. So it is basically well wishes for the new year.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-3920-_l22ig73ii9nr\"><\/a>Happy New Year in Spanish = Feliz a\u00f1o nuevo \/ Pr\u00f3spero a\u00f1o nuevo<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re hanging around with your Spanish-speaking friends or relative for one more week, you will also need some new year terminology. Plus, if you&#8217;re going to be wishing people a merry Christmas you may as well throw in some well-wishes for the new year too! Thankfully, Spanish also keeps it pretty simple for the new year, with a simple <em>feliz a\u00f1o nuevo<\/em>. If you want to be a bit more sophisticated or formal, however, you can also say <em>pr\u00f3spero a\u00f1o nuevo<\/em>. But really, as long as you are wishing people well some way or another, you\u2019ll be fine.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-3920-_dnppc3x6i0g1\"><\/a>Origin of the word \u201cChristmas\u201d in Spanish (<em>Navidad<\/em>)<\/h2>\n<p>The word <em>Navidad<\/em> comes from the Latin \u201cnativitas\u201d which means birth (likely the birth of Christ). Many languages relate the word Christmas to something to do with birth, so Spanish is not unique in this.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3921\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clozemaster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FB_IMG_1606017324319.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clozemaster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FB_IMG_1606017324319.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.clozemaster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FB_IMG_1606017324319-300x222.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-3920-_eua35k7bfv1w\"><\/a>How use Christmas in a sentence in Spanish<\/h2>\n<p>Other than saying \u201cmerry Christmas\u201d in Spanish, you may want to talk more generally about Christmas in conversation, such as to discuss your plans or your experiences. Note that the word <em>Navidad <\/em>is generally singular, feminine, and starts with a capital <em>N<\/em>. The following are some examples of how it can be used in a sentence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>En Navidad | At Christmas\/on Christmas day<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>En Navidad veo a toda mi familia.<\/em> | I see my whole family at Christmas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>En esta Navidad | This Christmas (coming up) <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Esta Navidad espero receber el regalo que realmente quiero.<\/em> | This Christmas I hope to get the gift I really want.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>La pr\u00f3xima Navidad | Next Christmas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Note: this can also be expressed as <em>las pr\u00f3ximas Navidades<\/em> or <em>las siguientes Navidades<\/em> but this is usually in more formal texts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>La pr\u00f3xima Navidad no quiero viajar para ning\u00fan lugar.<\/em> | Next Christmas I don\u2019t want to travel anywhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>La Navidad pasada \/ La pasada Navidad \/ En la \u00faltima Navidad | Last Christmas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Note: this can also be expressed as <em>las pasadas Navidades<\/em>, but this is usually in more formal texts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>En la \u00faltima Navidad mi hermano estaba en Espa\u00f1a.<\/em> | Last Christmas my brother was in Spain.<\/li>\n<li><em>Mi Navidad favorita fue la Navidad pasada. <\/em>| My favorite Christmas was last Christmas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Desde Navidad | Since Christmas<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>No he visto a mi padre desde Navidad. <\/em>| I haven\u2019t seen my father since Christmas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Regalo de Navidad | Christmas present<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Mi hijo recibi\u00f3 much\u00edsimos regalos de Navidad. <\/em>| My son received a lot of Christmas presents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can find and practise more Spanish sentences with Clozemaster.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-3920-_oulm7ymnji64\"><\/a>Christmas as an adjective (<em>navide\u00f1o<\/em>)<\/h2>\n<p>In English, the adjective for Christmas is simply Christmas. Things aren\u2019t quite that simple. They have their noun (<em>Navidad<\/em>) and their adjective (<em>navide\u00f1o<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><em>Navide\u00f1o <\/em>can be used pretty much interchangeably with <em>de Navidad<\/em>. The word <em>navide\u00f1o<\/em> behaves just like any other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clozemaster.com\/blog\/spanish-adjectives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">adjective in Spanish<\/a>, meaning that it usually comes after the noun and the ending changes depending on the gender and number of the preceding noun. Common phrases using <em>navide\u00f1o <\/em>include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Los adornos navide\u00f1os | Christmas decorations<\/li>\n<li>Un mercado navide\u00f1o | Christmas market<\/li>\n<li>Saludos navide\u00f1os | Christmas greetings<\/li>\n<li>Un mensaje navide\u00f1o | A Christmas message<\/li>\n<li>El periodo navide\u00f1o | The Christmas period<\/li>\n<li>Los villancicos navide\u00f1os | Christmas carols<\/li>\n<li>Las canciones navide\u00f1as | Christmas songs<\/li>\n<li>Una postal navide\u00f1a | Christmas card<\/li>\n<li>Las fiestas navide\u00f1as | Christmas holidays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"post-3920-_m55aemdivuqf\"><\/a>Other season\u2019s greetings in Spanish<\/h2>\n<p>As I mentioned, <em>feliz Navidad <\/em>pretty much covers you and is by far the most widely used Christmas greeting. However, if you are looking to mix it up, you might want to use some of the variations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Felices Fiestas | Happy holidays<br \/>\n(this is quite common but <em>feliz navidad<\/em> is still more widespread)<\/li>\n<li>Felices Pascuas de Navidad | Happy Christmas holidays<br \/>\n(this one is used more in Spain than Latin America)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Grammar note: notice how both of these greetings use <em>felices<\/em> instead of the <em>feliz <\/em>we see in <em>feliz navidad<\/em> and <em>feliz a\u00f1o nuevo<\/em> etc. This is because in the former greetings, we are talking about a plural (holidays) rather than the singular one-day celebrations of <em>navidad<\/em> and <em>a\u00f1o nuevo<\/em>.

While they are all different, most Spanish-speaking countries have some traditions which differ greatly from what we are used to in the English-speaking world. If you\u2019re going to be spending Christmas with some Spanish speakers, it might pay to know what to expect.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-3920-_9gtzeh47sc4d\"><\/a>La nochebuena (Christmas Eve)<\/h3>\n<p>Most Spanish-speaking cultures hold their main celebration on Christmas Eve (known as <em>nochebuena<\/em>). It is usually a public holiday and families will get together on this day to be together and have a good old meal. It is most common to wait up until midnight, so they see Christmas day in. Then they exchange gifts, and party into the morning. It is very different from what I am used to, coming from an English-speaking culture, but I really like this style!<\/p>\n<p>New Year\u2019s Eve is also a celebration and is known as <em>nochevieja<\/em> since it is the \u201coldest\u201d night of the year.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-3920-_1giw00t9iuzq\"><\/a>Los Reyes Magos | The Three Wise Men<\/h3>\n<p>In Spain and a few other Spanish-speaking countries, Santa Claus (or <em>Pap\u00e1 Noel<\/em>) is not traditionally a thing, and has only been introduced in recent years with the onslaught of American culture onto the world. Instead, the bearer of gifts is not one jolly old fat guy, but three wise men (<em>los reyes magos)<\/em>. And they don\u2019t deliver gifts on Christmas Eve, but on the 6<sup>th<\/sup> of January.<\/p>\n<p>The 6<sup>th<\/sup> is traditionally celebrated as The Epiphany in Christian Culture. This means that Spanish kids have to wait for 12 days after Christmas to receive the goods! But that\u2019s not to say they don\u2019t get gifts from their families on Christmas either, so when you think of it another way, it\u2019s like they get not one but two special days! Nowadays, they get an even better deal as most families acknowledge Santa Claus as well as <em>Los Reyes Magos<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The Epiphany (<em>el d\u00eda de <\/em>reyes) is celebrated on January 6 as a <em>Cabalgata<\/em>, a traditional parade fronted by <em>los reyes magos<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-3920-_n7waqhgprd9l\"><\/a>D\u00eda de los Santos Inocentes (Fools\u2019 Day)<\/h3>\n<p>If you are going to be in a Spanish-speaking country on December 28, you better watch your back. If you\u2019re up for it, you may even want to plan your own practical jokes! Why? Instead of April Fool\u2019s Day on April the 1<sup>st<\/sup>, Spanish-speaking cultures celebrate what is known as <em>D\u00eda de los Santos Inocentes <\/em>on December the 28<sup>th<\/sup>. So this is another thing to keep in mind if you\u2019re spending Christmas within a Spanish-speaking culture.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>This post is about Christmas in Spanish-speaking countries in general, but of course we acknowledge that each country has its own unique culture and therefore way of celebrating.
