A Tradition Rooted in History

The kissing ball — or "kissing bough" — dates back centuries to medieval Europe, long before the Christmas tree became a holiday staple. Hung in doorways and gathering spaces, these fragrant spheres of greenery, berries, and ribbon were considered a symbol of goodwill, friendship, and love. Guests who passed beneath one were invited to share a kiss as a gesture of warmth and welcome — a tradition that carried forward through the Victorian era and into the modern holiday home.

Mistletoe has been woven into this tradition since ancient times. The Druids considered it sacred, a plant of peace and protection. Norse mythology linked it to love and reconciliation. By the 18th century, hanging mistletoe or a kissing ball in the home had become a cherished Christmas custom across Europe and America.

What It's For

Today, the kissing ball serves as both a stunning holiday decoration and a nod to centuries of festive tradition. Hang it in your entryway, above a doorframe, from a chandelier, or in a window to:
