The Later Years:- 2000 - Present.
In 1960 New Zealand began issuing Christmas Stamps each year, stamp with a Christmas theme to celebrate this important season. These stamps were often used on mail being sent to other parts of the world so NZ post usually issues them a few months before Christmas to give time for parcels and postage to reach their destination by Christmas Day.
2000 Christmas Issue.
Nativity Story.
The 2000 set of six stamp designs tells the Nativity story using designs are based on 16th and 17th-century artistic interpretations, renowned for their richness and depth of colour. These designs have been enhanced by the addition of metallic gold to each stamp during the printing process. The designer incorporated an arch shape into the background of each stamp - a shape that is frequently seen in Christmas art, especially in church architecture and stained glass windows.

Some of these well-known carols are the feature of this six value set.

2004 Christmas Issue.
Traditional Christmas Food.
The 2004 Christmas set is a rather difficult one to place into an album or on to a computer page because the stamps were designed to stand on their corner as can be seen below. I have included the full set to show this then large views of the stamps are displayed using the words 'New Zealand 45c' as the top edge.
For Kiwis, no Christmas is complete without food - and plenty of it! And while many still indulge in traditional 'winter' fare such as roast turkey and plum pudding, more and more are choosing to dine on cuisine appropriate for the season and reflecting our multicultural identity.
Kiwi Christmas feasts of today are likely to be barbecues and salads followed by one of our favourite desserts - the delectable fluffy pavlova, served with whipped cream and strawberries - or even a 'hangi' a traditional Maori earth oven where food is slowly steamed among hot rocks. Today in many families, these alternative foods are now considered as traditional New Zealand Christmas Food.
Three adhesive values.
The adhesives:- 45c - Feast; 90c - Hangi; $1.00 - Christmas Cake.

2005 Christmas Issue.
One of the World's Greatest Stories.
One of the world’s great stories – a 2000-year-old tale of wonder. The story of the Nativity, which took place in Bethlehem more than 2000 years ago, has all the ingredients of greatness – visits from angels bearing extraordinary news; a young couple driven from their home, and their desperate search for a bed; the lowly stable where the baby Jesus is born; and the star in the sky that leads worshippers to the spot where he lies. Jesus’ birth, and the events that surround it, are the reasons for Christmas.

2010 Christmas Issue.
Celebrating 50 Years of Christmas Stamps.
NZ Post wrote on their web site "In the past 50 years New Zealand Post’s Christmas stamps have adorned envelopes carrying messages of Christmas cheer to loved ones at home and abroad."
The 2010 Christmas stamp issue features images of stamps from popular Christmas themes of the last half-century. The stamps are set against a metallic silver background and show one of what appears to be a block or sheet. Each value carries the words "50 Years of Christmas Stamps" and gives the year of the stamp shown. I found it interest to compare the 2010 value with the value of the earlier stamps shown.
60c - Classical paintings / 1960 Christmas (Self-Adhesive).

Children's Nativity Play.
For many children across New Zealand, performing in a nativity play is part of their festive tradition. In the 2014 Christmas Issue, the story of the nativity play is told through stunning illustrations on the five Christmas stamps, but in this case, using views of five children acting rather than the traditional characters themselves. This is an interesting twist, a nice way of doing it.
