There is no Japanese word for "Merry Christmas." People just say it as an English word with Japanese pronunciation: "Merii Kurisumasu
When saying "Happy Birthday" or "Happy New Year," "omedetou （おめでとう）" is used for "Happy ~." The Japanese have adapted many western customs, however phrases like "Happy Valentines," "Happy Easter," "Happy Halloween," or "Happy Holidays" are not widely used.
