Questions
Why doesn't this include the actual 2026 dates?
Royal Mail and the other couriers haven't published their 2026 Christmas dates yet — they're typically confirmed through October and November. Filling in official dates as they're announced is far more reliable than printing guessed ones that could be wrong, so this planner gives you a proper system to capture the real dates the moment they're released.
Where do I find the official dates once they're announced?
Check the Royal Mail, Parcelforce, Evri, DPD and An Post websites directly — each publishes its own Christmas posting dates page, usually linked from their homepage in the run-up to the holidays.
Is this only for people sending UK cards?
No — it covers UK posting and international posting separately, including space to track different deadlines by destination zone, which matters because international dates close weeks earlier than UK ones.
Can I reuse this every year?
Yes, the address book and card list sections are designed to be kept as a standing record, so you're not rebuilding your list from scratch each December — just updating it.
Is this a digital file or a physical planner?
It's a printable digital download — print as many pages as you need, add more card list or address book pages if your list is long, and keep it in a folder from year to year.
