Share the joy of the holiday season with this fun and festive souvenir sheet featuring all three stamps in this year’s Christmas series.
On the domestic stamp, a smiling Santa stands in the snow facing a jovial tree. On the U.S.-rate stamp, a vibrant green tree is adorned with a red Santa hat. The international-rate stamp features a white dove, carrying an olive branch, a symbol of peace.
These joyful stamps are based on original illustrations by the late Rolf Harder, an influential Canadian designer whose work is featured in the permanent collections of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Quebec and the Museum of Modern Art of New York. Harder, who died in 2013, designed more than 60 stamps for Canada Post over the course of his distinguished career.
The stamps were designed by Hélène L’Heureux under the direction of Harder’s daughter, Vivi Harder.

Filled with billowy snowflakes in a navy blue sky, Rolf Harder’s images appear to be taken from an enchanted forest, occupied only by Santa Claus, a single Christmas tree and a dove carrying an olive branch. The renowned designer, who died in 2013, produced more than 60 works for Canada Post. His work has been added to the permanent collections of the Musée national des Beaux-arts du Québec and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
