Issued by the United Kingdom in 1966, this charming Christmas issue features winning designs from a national children’s art competition, marking one of Britain’s earliest modern Christmas stamp sets. The 3d value depicts a brightly stylised crowned king, while the 1s 6d value shows a cheerful snowman in winter attire, both rendered with naïve artistic flair. Printed by Harrison & Sons Ltd., these stamps capture a distinctive shift toward child-inspired themes in British philately. Highly sought after by thematic collectors of Christmas, children’s art, and modern UK commemoratives, the set remains an iconic and nostalgic issue. Ideal for completing GB Christmas runs or thematic exhibits.
