i remember hearing ages ago the phrase:
"vecelykh svyat' i cheslovoho novoho roku".
when is that used and when is "z novym rokom" used??

Re: no

effectively the same thing.

"щасливого нового року" stands for (I wish you) as happy new year

while "з новим роком" will be (I congratulate you with) a new year.

stuff in brackets in ommited, but implied

it is correctly - "ve`se`ly'h svyat ta sch'asly'vogo novogu roku",
and it is equal to "cheerful holidays and happy new year" in a genitive case,
it is the simplified version from "we wish you cheerful holidays and happy new year", but here it is "cheerful holidays and happy new year",
and i think it was initially the incorrect form of construction of sentence, but eventually such form began to be used because it is shorter and more convenient in a spoken language.

"z novy'm rokom" - is the most commonly used form, approximately as you say "Happy new year".

вообщем не заморачивайтесь))
