Royal Mail launched its collection full of festive stamps this year and it features a bright set of five designs in total. All of these are inspired by classic Christmas carols. The five looks are displayed on the stamps nodding to some of the most beloved and familiar carols of the season.
There are visual representations of "O Holy Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Silent Night, Away in a Manger, and We Three Kings." All of the stamps are designed by artist Tom Duxbury, who brought a colorful look to the holiday carols. He is known for his expertise in woodblock printing, which captures modern and vintage scenes, and has been selected to create the stamps to feature the silhouette of His Majesty King Charles III.
