adwa and jamal are right but i would rather say
نتمنى لكم عيد ميلاد المسيح سعيد وسليم
and for those who ignore that arab and muslim are synonims i have a "braking news" there are many christian communities in arab countries like Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and not only there.
i spend my last christmas in egypt last year and i spend the coptic christmas in an egyptian family on the 7th of january according to the old calendar and i would say they respect and cherish christmas more then europeans do and in the same time they keep their arab identity which is something that surpasses religion.

With all due respect,all the answers are wrong,here is the correct one :
نتمنى لكم عيد ميلاد سعيد) وسالم)
I suggest you use the phrase in ( ),it is the well known phrase used in this occasion, the word outside the ( ) is ... and peaceful,which arabs, usually don't use it in this occasion.

You might also post this into the "Africa & Middle East" section (via Travel). You are more likely to pick up Arabic speakers there, I would think.
Sorry I can't help with the language

i agree with the first answerer...
although the middle east have many christian arabs around, you need to be careful speaking anything christian.
