Ring in the Lunar New Year with a special dedication of the sixth issuance in this popular series – the Lunar New Year: Year of the Snake Forever stamp from the U.S Postal Service. Those born in the Year of the Snake are said to be quiet, wise, and deep-thinking, making them proficient musicians, philosophers, writers, and teachers. The Year of the Snake stamp image features a green 3-dimensional mask of a snake, a contemporary take on the long tradition of paper-cut folk-art crafts.

The Year of the Snake 2025 Forever stamp is now available at all Post Offices and online at the Postal Store at usps.com/shopstamps.
