U.S. Postal Service Releases Christmas Cookie Forever Stamps
The U.S. Postal Service has released its new "Christmas Cookies" Forever stamps nationwide. The stamps were unveiled at an event at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.
The U.S. Postal Service officially released its new "Christmas Cookies" Forever stamps on September 19, 2026. The stamps became available nationwide following a public unveiling ceremony held at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.
The collection features four distinct designs depicting popular holiday cookies: decorated gingerbread houses, frosted snowflakes, red-and-white pinwheel cookies, and elaborately decorated Christmas tree cookies. The artwork was designed by William J. Gicker and photographed by an American company.
As Forever stamps, these adhere to the Postal Service's policy where their value is always equivalent to one first-class mail postage rate, regardless of future price adjustments. This ensures consistent value for customers sending mail throughout the holiday season.
The release aligns with the Postal Service's tradition of issuing holiday-themed stamps to commemorate cultural events and seasons. Customers can purchase the Christmas Cookies Forever stamps at post offices, through the Postal Service's website, and via its phone ordering system.
