"Every year when December rolls around, we carry out countless holiday traditions that pre-date all of us. Christmas trees have been a thing since 16th century Germany. Stockings can be credited back to the days of St. Nicholas. But the whole idea of kissing under the mistletoe started before any of that.

The romantic act that brings together so many couples in Hallmark Christmas movies, and sometimes in real life, is rooted in Norse mythology and the plant itself has had cultural significance for far longer. So where does Christmas come into play? Dickens, of course! It's not entirely clear how or when mistletoe first got pulled into all of the Christmas festivities, but its earliest mention seems to come from the work of Charles Dickens and Washington Irving in the days of Victorian England. Dickens makes mention of kissing under the mistletoe in The Pickwick Papers and Irving's Christmas Eve provided a bit more detail. The rule was that if a young woman was caught standing under one of these balls, she couldn't refuse a kiss or else she wouldn't get married the following year. It was also customary that a berry was plucked from the ball with each kiss that occurred underneath it." SOURCE: https://www.countryliving.com/life/a25319139/mistletoe-meaning-history/
