Christmas Stamps 2023

The creation of this year’s Christmas stamps centred around family and community celebrations, the story of the nativity, and the simple joy of festive traditions. Working with illustrator Tara O’Brien, we distilled the key imagery of the holiday into a series of six stamps. We sought to balance contemporary and classic visuals across both national and international stamps.

The stamps were printed with a subtle silver ink on the stars, complementing the texture of the illustrations. The illustration continues onto the first day cover and cancellation stamp.
