| Reverse description | The central field features a colour-printed effigy of a decorated Christmas tree, rendered in vivid green with multicoloured ornaments including red and yellow baubles and festive lights dusted with snow, conveying a traditional holiday scene. The tree occupies the majority of the reverse field and is produced using the Royal Canadian Mint's proprietary selective colour application process. The legend 'CANADA' is inscribed in large capital letters along the upper periphery, while the denomination '25 cents' and date '2007' appear in the lower portion of the field, flanking the base of the tree. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Royal Canadian Mint's expanding coloured circulation coinage program, this piece was produced using a selective laser colorization process the Mint had been refining since its first coloured quarter in 2004. The 2007 Christmas issue was distributed through Canada Post gift sets and bank holiday packaging rather than general circulation, which explains the disproportionate survival rate in uncirculated condition.
