'die Freude' and 'die Euphorie' both describe a positive feeling. 'Freude' is the normal word for joy, happiness, satisfaction, or a pleasant feeling. It fits many everyday situations, for example with good news or a gift. 'Euphorie' is much stronger. It means a very intense feeling of elation, often after a great success or a special event. If the feeling is simply pleasant or joyful, you are more likely to say 'Freude'. If people are almost overwhelmed or very excited, 'Euphorie' fits better.
