New Zealand Post is once again marking the festive season with a series of Christmas stamps, this year featuring traditional nativity scenes with a touch of Pōhutukawa - widely regarded as New Zealand’s Christmas tree.
The five stamps feature Mary and Joseph with baby Jesus, shepherds tending their flocks nearby, the angel sharing news of the birth of Jesus and the three wise men.

The stamps are available in PostShops in various denominations for international and domestic mailing.
