its probably better to say
お正月にはみんなに「あけましておめでとうございます 」と言うのです

言う= say
話す= speak

it seems like a really small difference in english, but i find that once i got used to the japanese language, its quite a big difference
話す sounds more like a conversation, where one person talks, and another replies etc. e.g. 美咲さんと話しました- i spoke to Misaki
言う is more like, a comment, or just like one line, i cant explain too well, but some examples and more experience should help you get used to it
e.g. 彼には「おめでとう」と行ってくれ。- Tell him I said "congratulations" for me
なんとか言ってください。- Say something (please).
