What's the difference between 謹賀新年, 明けましておめでとうございます, and 新年おめでとうございます, as New Year's greetings?


Aside from translation differences, I was never sure of what distinguishes
them from each other. Anyone else know?




They are basically the same. [They are many set phrases to celebrate a happy
new year](https://allabout.co.jp/gm/gc/220632/), and your examples are only
some of the most popular ones. But all-kanji versions would look stiffer, and
they are meant to be written/printed on 年賀状. In speech, you can stick to
明けましておめでとうございます everywhere.
