Royal Mail’s Christmas 2026 issue is scheduled for 3 November, with five self-adhesive stamps illustrated by British artist Rebecca Sutherland. The designs follow the Nativity, including the journey to Bethlehem and the arrival of the Wise Men.

The set contains Second Class, Second Class Large Letter, First Class, First Class Large Letter and £3.60 stamps. Royal Mail lists the complete set at £11.16 under product code AS15500.

Hat-trick design is credited with the design work. Cartor Security Printers produced the landscape-format stamps in gravure; each measures 39 × 30 mm, with perforations 15 × 14.5. The stamps are supplied in sheets of 50 and have phosphor bars as appropriate to their postal values.

The coordinated products include a miniature sheet and a collectors sheet containing two sets against a festive background. A presentation pack contains all five mint stamps, while six postcards reproduce the stamp designs and miniature sheet at enlarged size. First-day covers are offered with Tallents House or Bethlehem, Llandeilo cancellations dated 3 November.

The Second Class design depicts the journey with a donkey; the First Class stamp shows the Holy Family beneath a star. An angel appears on the Second Class Large Letter value, shepherds on the First Class Large Letter design and the Wise Men on the £3.60 stamp.
