So, Do You Capitalize “Happy Holidays?”
Yes, because even though the word “holidays” isn’t a proper noun, it’s used in this phrase to replace the many of the holidays people might be
celebrating such as Christmas, New Years, and Hanukah. It is therefore common practice to capitalize the phrase since people have come to accept it.
It’s also acceptable to use Happy Holidays in a sentence like, “I’m wishing you Happy Holidays together with your family.”
