If you’re around British people, that might be acceptable. But definitely not in America. It sounds off here

At the church I grew up in, it was almost always Happy instead of Merry as there were a few of the older folk who were against alcohol in the church building. (The communion wine was usually grape or cranberry juice)

Merry has hints of getting drunk in it, which wasn't exactly seen as a positive thing.
