The 3 cent stamp features a reproduction of 'Virgin and Child' by the Spanish artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.

The 5 cent stamp features a modern stained glass window from Saint John's Methodist Church in Levin, built in 1936.

The 10 cent stamp has the crimson flower of the Pohutukawa tree. Pohutukawa tree blossom is an established part of the New Zealand Christmas tradition. In 1833 Henry Williams described holding a service under a 'wide spreading Pohutukawa'. By 1867, settlers were calling the Pohutakawa the Christmas tree: "The pohutukawa around Christmas…are full of charming blossom and the settler decorates his church and dwellings with its lovely branches." Other settlers described it as 'Antipodean holly'.
