Chag Sameach is a Hebrew phrase that means "happy holiday" and is more generic.
Not all moadim are chaggim or involve feasting: for instance, Yom Kippur is a mo'ed marked by fasting and affliction, not celebration, while Yom Teruah (Trumpets) is a day of solemn rest with trumpet blasts for remembrance, without explicit feasting.
Pronunciation: the ch in chag is not pronounced like the ch in chair, it's more closely pronounced as an h like hog. The ch is a way to indicate this Hebrew word is spelled with the letter chet חַ which there is no equivalent in English.
