The yellow card depicting a bird entitled The Fat Budgie was first available as an Oxfam Christmas card at the height of Beatlemania in 1965. But it is being sold in Oxfam shops as a limited edition in Oxfam shops from today.
Yoko Ono, who gave Oxfam permission to re-print the card, has already ordered 200 of the cards to send to friends and family.
She said: "John supported Oxfam so it is wonderful that his illustration can continue to help Oxfam in its important work He would have been happy that Oxfam wanted to re-print his design to mark such an important occasion and I hope people will enjoy buying, sending and receiving his cards this Christmas."
