Felix is more “lucky” than “happy”.

Like Felice Navidad in Spanish? In that case happy seems more fitting.

Spanish and Latin are different languages.

If you mean "cheerful, jolly", then the Latin is laetus.
If you mean "lucky, fortunate", then the Latin is felix.
If you mean "blessed, prosperous", then the Latin is beatus.
If you mean "rejoicing, celebrating" then the Latin is gaudiam.
