The 2026 collection spans diverse cultural and historical subjects. Among the notable additions is the "Know the Facts About Fentanyl" semipostal stamp, designed to support research and recovery initiatives, with proceeds directed to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. In tandem, the service is honoring the 150th anniversary of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy with a design featuring the USCGC Eagle and the USCGC Bertholf.
USPS Unveils 2026 Stamp Collection Featuring Fentanyl Awareness and Holidays
The U.S. Postal Service has unveiled its 2026 stamp lineup, blending traditional holiday themes with advocacy and historical commemorations. From a semipostal stamp dedicated to fentanyl awareness to designs honoring the U.S. Coast Guard Academy’s 150th anniversary, the upcoming releases will be distributed across the country starting this August.
Holiday-themed issues remain a staple of the program. This year's offerings include "Christmas Cookies," a "Madonna and Child" traditional stamp featuring a 16th-century Netherlandish painting, and a new Hanukkah design focused on the dreidel. The Diwali stamp, scheduled for October, showcases a vibrant rangoli pattern, while the Kwanzaa issue incorporates symbols of unity and gifting. For those sending mail globally, a winter-themed wreath stamp will join the catalog. The rollout begins August 7 in Linthicum Heights, MD, with the Diagonal U.S. Flag stamped envelope, followed by a series of regional release ceremonies nationwide throughout the fall.
