About The Event
LET’S MAKE KISS-STORY!
Get ready to make KISS-STORY, Downtown DC! On Saturday, December 13 starting at 3:00 p.m., we’re hosting the National Kiss Under the National Mistletoe at Anthem Row and we need you to help us earn the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™️ title for the most couples kissing under the mistletoe! Bring your boo, pucker up, and join hundreds of lovebirds locking lips beneath the city’s latest holiday attraction. YOU MUST REGISTER TO PARTICIPATE! Be prepared to also register your kissing partner by name & email.
Suspended 30 feet in the air, the National Mistletoe is a stunning 10-foot installation of greenery, blooms, ribbons, and a jingle bell—a perfect backdrop for that picture-perfect smooch. Enjoy live music by Ellington Carthan Quartet featuring Valentina Maria, food and drinks, photo booths, live art, and more. Whether you’re sealing the deal, rekindling the spark, or just joining for the fun—this is the holiday kiss you won’t forget. 💋
The record currently stands at 488 kissing couples. We welcome all of consenting age to participate in a 7-second kissing session.
