3 November 2025 - Christmas. See Blog 2806 for illustrations and details of basic gummed stamps.
‘Secular’ designs -
3 gummed stamps, 2 booklets/‘sheetlets’ containing self-adhesive stamps (5 x $3 sold for $15 and 10 x 65c sold for $6.50), 1 ‘embellished’ stamp pack containing 20 ‘embellished’ stamps (10 of each 65c value) sold for $14.95, 2 self-adhesive sheetlets of 10 x 65c sold for $6.50 each (each sheetlet features one of the two designs) and 1 gummed miniature sheet containing all 3 stamps. Those items not previously depicted are shown below -
‘Religious’ designs - 2 gummed stamps, 1 gummed miniature sheet containing both stamps, and 2 self-adhesive stamps (the $3 from a sheetlet of 5 sold for $15 and the 65c from a booklet of 10 sold for $6.50).















I suspect that Australia Post is reducing the number of Christmas stamps produced as they still have large stocks of stamps from previous years (and the 2024 stamps have no year printed on them). This year the 65c stamps were printed in booklets of 10, while they were printed in booklets of 20 previously. There is no Christmas Island Christmas issue for 2025. No doubt to reduce the number of Christmas issues; but also including the issue would increase the production cost of the Territories year pack.
