The culture is fine, where I work literally everyone says "Merry Christmas" (including the customers), I haven't heard a single "Happy Holidays" this year. It's not the culture it's the people who control the major companies and politicians.
Since you brought up NYC specifically I assume you live there, be the change you want to see. Say "Merry Christmas" to every person you come across, but probably keep a gun on you, otherwise Muslims are liable to start stabbing you

It does depend on the area… in NYC you rarely if ever hear Merry Christmas, other than tourists
