Mistletoe has always been considered a "magical" plant by pagan religions in North America and Europe. It was traditionally cut twice a year, at mid-summer and mid-winter, during a special celebration. The tradition of having mistletoe as a winter decoration stems from this practice.
Kissing under the mistletoe has roots in ancient traditions, particularly among the Celts and Scandinavians, but it became popularized in the context of Christmas in the 18th century. The practice was notably documented in England during the Victorian era, where it became a custom for people to kiss under the mistletoe as a symbol of goodwill and romance. Over time, this tradition evolved and solidified into the festive custom we recognize today.
Tradition dictates that if two people are under mistletoe, they must kiss.
