Natural
"Merry early Christmas" can also be used to affect a "cute" tone, so that it is similar to what a children might say. I use this quite often, though.
"Best wishes before Christmas!" This sounds less natural, though it is perfectly understandable. Using "Seasons greetings!" or "Happy Holidays" is more natural.
