Designed to bring the house down, Royal Mail proudly presents Pantomime as the theme for this years Christmas stamps.

For many, Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without a trip to a pantomime. It’s where we laugh at dreadful jokes, join in with terrible songs and wait in eager anticipation to shout out the same old catchphrases!

We’ve chosen a cast, from the most popular characters that have entranced us over the years, to star on the Pantomime 2008 Christmas stamps. Who is your favourite?

And to provide greater Christmas choice for customers, the popular 1st and 2nd Class Madonna and Madonna and Child stamps from Christmas 2007 will also be available.
