As Draoi says, the standard expression is "Nollaig shona agus athbhliain faoi mhaise duit/daoibh" (happy Christmas and a prosperous new year".
If you want a more literal translation of your phrase, you need to be more careful of cultural meaning. "holiday", in the american sense that's used here, is best given as "féile" (festival day), not "laethanta saoire", which usually refers to vacations in Irish.
Also, adding "guí" for "wishing" is redundant which makes bad Irish.
So a better literal translation is:
"Féile shona agus athbhliain iontach duit/daoibh"

A literal translation would be:
Ag guí laethanta saoire sona agus athbhliain iontach ort.
[use "oraibh" instead of "ort" for more than one person]
The standard greeting of "[I wish you] a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year" is:
[Guím] Nollaig shona agus athbhliain faoi mhaise duit.
If you don't want Christmas there, you could use.
[Guím] laethanta saoire sona agus athbhliain faoi mhaise duit.
If you are addressing this to more than one person, use "daoibh" instead of "duit".

" Yn deisyf 'ch a 'n ddedwydd ddygwyl a a 'n aruthr 'n Grai Blwyddyn."
It's in Welsh. Welsh is one of Gaelic languages.
