Polish Post's 2025 Christmas issues are inspired by the unique Lower Silesian Pattern – a contemporary regional decorative motif that combines tradition with modernity.

The stamps feature photographs of Christmas baubles decorated with designs derived from the cultural heritage of Lower Silesia. Below the baubles, the title of the issue "Christmas" and the inscription "Lower Silesian Pattern" are displayed. Along the bottom edge, the word "POLSKA" and the respective denominations appear: ECONOMIC S, PRIORITY S, and 10 PLN.

The Lower Silesian Bauble is a unique handmade glass ornament decorated using a technique reminiscent of wax painting on eggs. The decorator applies acrylic dot by dot to create compositions of folk motifs: lilies, garlands, parzenice, windmills, flowers, suns, rosettes, and fans. These patterns reflect the ethnographic richness of Lower Silesia and the history of settlers who arrived after 1945.

The inspiration for this issue comes from the Christmas Bauble Museum in Milicz, located in the former glass ornament factory – once the largest bauble manufactory in Poland, operating from the 1950s until 2008. Milicz baubles, made entirely by hand, were exported worldwide, mainly to the USA and Japan, with Walt Disney among the recipients. The museum's collection includes about 6,000 pieces, from the oldest baubles of the late 20th century to the newest from 2007.

Once an autonomous French colony, the Central African Republic got its name after proclaiming independence in December 1958. The territory started producing postage stamps in December 1959. The first issue celebrated the first anniversary of the establishment of the republic. Since then, the Central African Republic releases multiple postal sets in a year, portraying a wide variety of themes, primarily to collectors.

Mint sheets for this year's Christmas series depict Walt Disney characters in various poses.
