Hello, I want to use this for a casual email to a friend, so it's not formal. Do I need the "that" in the text?

1. I hope you have a peaceful holiday and the new year brings you lots of opportunities.

or

2. I hope you have a peaceful holiday and that the new year brings you lots of opportunities.

Hello.
I want to use this for a casual email to a friend, so it's not formal. Do I need the "that" in the text following sentence?

1. I hope you have a peaceful holiday and the new year brings you lots of opportunities.
or
2. I hope you have a peaceful holiday and that the new year brings you lots of opportunities.

It's optional.

In some cases, omitting "that" in such a syntactic context will create ambiguity; it will be unclear whether the second clause is dependent or independent.

1) I hope you like it and she does too.
(a) "she does too" = [that] she likes it too
(b) "she does too" = she hopes you like it too
