They continued explaining, "Since 1904, the Christmas stamp has been a staple of Danish Christmas, and this year's Christmas stamp honors the hopes and dreams of children and emphasizes the importance of supporting children in overcoming life's challenges."

"The profits from the sales go to the work of the Christmas Mark Homes, where around 1,000 children each year receive help to strengthen their well-being, self-esteem and sense of community," the statement concluded.

Notably, this meaningful royal event was attended by Queen Mary after she and her husband, King Frederik, hosted a lavish dinner for the European Union’s heads of state and government at Amalienborg Palace.
