Gutes Neues!
if it's used as a casual greeting, you can say "Gutes Neues", the fact that you are referring to the New Year is implied...

Ein gutes Neues Jahr!
In Germany and in Austria one is wishing "Ein gutes neues Jahr". Depending on the context however it also could be "Prosit Neujahr!" as you find on greeting cards, and as one says if it's New Year night at the moment. People good acquainted with each other also use this expression still some days after the event.
I hope this helped.
