makes my day vs it makes my day

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in slightly different contexts. "Makes my day" is a more informal and direct way of expressing that something brings joy or happiness, while "it makes my day" is a more complete sentence that includes the subject 'it.' The choice between the two phrases depends on the level of formality and emphasis you want to convey.
