It is not permissible to congratulate the kuffaar on their festivals in any way whatsoever
What is the ruling on eating the food (rice, meat, chicken or cake) that is given to us by a Christian friend that he made for his birthday or for Christmas or the Christian New Year? What is your opinion on congratulating him by saying, “Insha Allaah you will continue to do well this year” so as to avoid saying Kull ‘aam wa antum bi khayr (approx. “season’s greetings”) or “Happy New Year” etc?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not
 permissible for a Muslim to eat things that the Jews and Christians make on
 their festivals, or what they give him as a gift on their festivals, because
 that is cooperating with them and joining in with them in this evil, 
It is not
 permissible for him to congratulate them on their festivals in any way
 whatsoever, because that implies approval of their festival and not
 denouncing them, and helping them to manifest their symbols and propagate
 their innovation, and sharing their happiness during their festivals, which
 are innovated festivals that are connected to false beliefs that are not approved of in Islam
