Hongkong Post to issue "Christmas Stamps V" special stamps (with photos)
**********************************************************************************
Christmas is a season filled with joy, warmth and blessings. As a city embracing both Chinese and Western cultures, Hong Kong showcases a lively festive ambience throughout Christmas. Following the release of Christmas stamps in 2002, 2007, 2014 and 2020, Hongkong Post once again is releasing a new set on this classic theme this year, which features the dazzling nightscape of Victoria Harbour as the backdrop, incorporating festive elements to demonstrate Hong Kong's unique metropolitan Christmas atmosphere. In addition, the designer has included hidden surprises in the miniatures using invisible fluorescent ink, which are waiting to be revealed under ultraviolet light.
Official first day covers for "Christmas Stamps V" will be on sale at all post offices and Hongkong Post's online shopping platform ShopThruPost (shopthrupost.hongkongpost.hk) from tomorrow (November 11). This set of special stamps and associated philatelic products will be on sale at all post offices and ShopThruPost from November 25, while serviced first day covers affixed with the special stamps and postage prepaid Christmas cards (air mail) will be available at philatelic offices only.
A hand-back date-stamping service will be provided on November 25 at all post offices for official first day covers/souvenir covers/privately made covers bearing the first day of issue indication and a local address.
Information about this set of special stamps and associated philatelic products is available on the Hongkong Post Stamps website (stamps.hongkongpost.hk).
