It looks like Guernsey and Alderney are ready for Santa! Each issued a set of “Santa’s Visit” stamps on 28 October 2020. One of the stamps in Guernsey’s set shows Santa climbing Les Hanois Lighthouse while Alderney’s version has him flying around Mannez Lighthouse.

Jersey’s Christmas set was issued on 23 November 2020. One of the stamps in this set shows a stylized version of Corbière Lighthouse. Isn’t Santa coming to Jersey?
