The USPS “Holiday Cheer” stamp series celebrates timeless holiday traditions through colorful, seasonal imagery.
- One stamp showcases a trio of festive fruits — a pear, pomegranate, along with a clementine, nestled on a pine branch.
- Another shows a lush green wreath adorned with holly berries as well as a bold red bow.
- A third design holds two bright red cardinals perched on mistletoe, denoting joy in the winter season.
- The final stamp highlights three vibrant amaryllis flowers, tied together with a red ribbon, a favorite Christmas bloom known for its longtime longevity.
All illustrations were handcrafted by artist Denise Fiedler using painted cut-outs placed on vintage garden book paper. The stamp series was designed by USPS art director Derry Noyes.
The collection comes in booklets of 20 Forever stamps, which always match the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce rate. One can follow the launch with #HolidayCheerStamps.
The “Holiday Cheer” stamps aim to capture the warmth and nostalgia of the season through nature-inspired imagery. Each design blends visual charm with cultural meaning, making them perfect not only for sending holiday greetings but also for collectors who appreciate seasonal artistry.
