#VanKiss mistletoe heats up the streets in Vancouver (PHOTOS)

Over the past month, hundreds of amorous couples in Vancouver have taken their photo under the #VanKiss mistletoes hung on ordinary lamp posts and some very creative locations.

The holiday decorations inviting passersby to share a smooch, take a photo, and share on social media with the hashtag #VanKiss has been an annual tradition for several years.

Dozens of sign posts were put up at various locations in and around downtown Vancouver in late-November and early-December.

Check out these photos of couples, young and old, and furry companions under the mistletoe:

It’s the most beautiful time of the year Lights fill the streets, spreadin’ so much cheer I should be playin’ in the winter snow, but I’ma be under the mistletoe #christmascaroloftheday #jbiebs #vankiss #mistletoe

We found the #vankiss mistletoe today in a parking lot on our walk, rescued it and brought it home. But now we’re feeling the mistletoe pressure. #frenchbulldog #christmas #mistletoe #bestbuds
