USPS introduced three domestic Christmas Forever subjects in 2014: Winter Fun, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Christmas Magi. USPS also issued a Silver Bells Wreath Global Forever stamp that season, but that round stamp paid an international—not domestic—rate.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
The four stamps use stills from the 1964 television special: Rudolph, Hermey, Santa and Bumble. The issue marked the program’s 50th anniversary and appeared as item 689600 in booklets of 20.
Christmas Magi
The traditional stamp shows the Magi traveling beneath a guiding star. Nancy Stahl created the artwork and Greg Breeding served as art director. Item 689700 was issued as a one-design booklet of 20.
Which 2014 stamp works for domestic mail?
The Winter Fun, Rudolph and Christmas Magi issues are domestic Forever stamps. Genuine unused copies remain valid for the current one-ounce domestic First-Class Mail letter rate. Silver Bells Wreath is a Global Forever issue with international-rate value. The two Forever categories should not be treated as interchangeable denominations.

- Match the artwork to the named issue before relying on a listing title.
- Check the stated pane or booklet count against the original format.
