Royal Mail is advising customers to act promptly if they wish to purchase Christmas stamps for this year. The postal service introduces limited-edition festive stamps annually, and for 2025, they have collaborated with renowned British artist Paula Doherty. The collection offers five designs portraying scenes from the Nativity.
In a social media alert, Royal Mail emphasized the need for customers to order their Christmas stamps early. Via a Facebook post, Royal Mail urged customers to secure their stamp purchases in advance, inviting them to add a touch of festivity to their holiday cards this Christmas.
For those interested in acquiring the 2025 stamps, the collection is now accessible for online orders through the Royal Mail website. The range includes stamp sets, books, sheets, as well as keepsakes like postcards, a presentation pack, and a collectors sheet.
The Christmas 2025 offerings come at various price points, with options like the Christmas 2025 4 x 2nd Stamp Book priced at £3.48 and the Christmas 2025 Full Sheet £3.40 x 50 available for £170. These stamps feature depictions of key figures from the Nativity story, including Mary and Joseph, the baby Jesus, the three wise men, shepherds, and an angel.
Royal Mail unveiled the 2025 stamp collection recently, highlighting the Nativity scenes beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Paula Doherty. The designs, inspired by techniques like inlaid marble and collage, aim to convey a sense of texture and craftsmanship, offering a vibrant reinterpretation of the Nativity narrative.
David Gold, Director of External Affairs & Policy at Royal Mail, expressed excitement about the release of the Christmas stamps, signaling the start of the festive season for many individuals. Paula Doherty, the illustrator, shared her enthusiasm for seeing her designs on envelopes worldwide this Christmas, noting the challenge of keeping her involvement in the project a secret until the stamps’ reveal.
