Shinnen is New Year but depending on what you want to say there is also "akemashite omedetou gozaimasu" for happy new year and New Years day is shogatsu which means the month of January, the first month of the New Year. New Years is the biggest holiday in Japan.

It's 'shin nen'. æ°å¹´
Shin means new, and nen means year.
when new year comes, people say 'Ake mashite omedetou' or more politely, 'Ake mashite omedetou gozaimasu' to each other, which means 'happy new year'
I'm from Japan and in Japan, as Chris says new year is the biggest holiday, and it's also a family day as well. We do Christmas too, but Christmas is more for young people, who want to enjoy themselves. We do not send Christmas cards normally, but we send new years greeting cards, called å¹´è³ç¶ (nen ga jou)
