WASHINGTON, DC — The U.S. Postal Service today announced additions to its 2021 stamp program. The new stamp features St. Nick — Santa Claus, one of our most recognized and beloved cultural icons.
A Visit From St. Nick
Four new designs in this booklet of 20 stamps tell the story of Santa’s visit on Christmas Eve.
In the first stamp, Santa stands on a snowy rooftop, sack slung across his back, with one leg inside the red-brick chimney; the second stamp shows Santa as he descends through the chimney, his legs dangling over the hearth; the third stamp is a close-up of a winking Santa; and the fourth stamp shows Santa in his sleigh, with four reindeer visible as they fly across the face of the full moon and into a starlit sky.
Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamps with original art by Brad Woodard.
All stamp designs are preliminary and subject to change. Additional details, including issue dates, will be announced later.
