A New Trend in New Year Greetings

New Year 2026 Custom Greetings: How AI Is Shaping Personalised Wishes

As New Year greetings peak during the festive season, artificial intelligence has become an integral part of personalised digital communication. Instead of sending generic forwards, many users now rely on AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude to create customised, multilingual and well-structured wishes. However, unclear prompts can still result in messages that sound generic.

The Importance of Writing the Right Prompts

AI tools respond to clear instructions called prompts. A well-written prompt guides the tone, structure, audience and purpose of the message. The clearer the brief, the more natural and personal the output becomes, helping users preserve emotional value while avoiding repetitive or template-like greetings.

Top AI Prompt Styles for New Year Wishes 

Short and Warm (Friends): Create crisp, casual wishes that subtly reflect shared memories, keeping the tone natural and friendly.

Poetic and Heartfelt (Loved Ones): Four-line poetic greetings with gentle, emotional language, ending with “Happy New Year 2026.”

Formal and Professional (Colleagues): Two-sentence neutral messages that include a subtle reference to teamwork.

Respectful and Thoughtful (Teachers): Polite 3–4 sentence greetings appreciating guidance and wishing rest and success, ending with “Happy New Year 2026.”

Script-Style (Audio/Video): Short, structured 30-word voiceover-style greetings for creators and presenters.

Quick Tips

Avoid overly long prompts. Clearly define tone, audience, length and exclusions (such as no emojis or hashtags). A precise prompt ensures clean, personalised output and prevents generic-sounding messages.
