On the last day of the year, the director of the sales department said to all the staff in sales, "I wish you all a happy new year. Let's have better performance, better sales figures in the next year/next year". Is one of the phrases between next year or in the next year wrong? Or, both correct but mean differently?

The next year would normally mean (roughly) 31 May 2021 to 30 May 2022: one year starting from tomorrow. The exact start and end dates don't matter, but 'in the next year' is within one year from now, not a new year starting on 1 January.

I also want to use it on January1 and 2, so "is coming" is unfit. I want to find an expression to be used between December 30 and January 2. In this context, do you think " with the coming of the New Year " is proper?
