Canada Post unveiled its Jack-O’-Lanterns stamp issue in Smoky Lake, Alberta, on 13 October 2026. Three designs feature pumpkins made specifically for the issue, depicting the Mummy, the Witch and the Monster.

Kristine Do designed the issue, with photography by Maya Visnyei. Zac Flavelle carved the pumpkins, Catherine Doherty provided the prop styling, and Colour Innovations printed the stamps. The booklet cover presents illuminated pumpkins against a dark setting; its interior shows a grinning face among pumpkins and gourds.

The issue comprises a booklet of six Permanent domestic-rate stamps and an official first-day cover. The first-day cancellation is shaped like a jack-o’-lantern and bears Smoky Lake as its place of issue. Canada Post identifies the town as Alberta’s pumpkin capital and the home of the annual Great White North Pumpkin Weigh-Off & Fair.

Canada Post’s booklet listing gives product number 414327111 and a price of C$7.44. The postal administration announced availability from 13 October through its online store and selected postal outlets across Canada.
