Following on from last year's folklore-inspired Yule cards, I've made four new designs for 2026, featuring characters and creatures drawn from British and European winter folklore. Each card includes a little background information about the character on the reverse.

The cards are available in packs of four or six. The six-card set includes two designs from last year, featuring the Yule Cat and Krampus, alongside the four new illustrations.

Gryla - a fearsome, troll-like ogress from Icelandic folklore.

The Yule Goat - is a traditional Scandinavian Christmas figure, whose origins may be linked to the Norse god Thor.

The Wren Boys - are part of an Irish and Manx Christmas tradition celebrated on St Stephen’s Day.

An Cailleach - from Irish and Scottish Gaelic folklore, is the ruler of winter. Her reign traditionally begins at Samhain and ends at Beltane, bringing frost, snow, wind and storms.

Krampus - is a horned, devilish figure from Central European Alpine folklore.

The Yule Cat - from Icelandic Christmas folklore, is said to lurk in the snowy countryside during the Christmas season and eat anyone who does not receive new clothing before Christmas Eve.
