* In the original ''[[Toy Story]]'', Woody is talking to Bo Peep toward the end of the movie, only to look up and see that her sheep are holding mistletoe. When he remarks, "Hey, is that mistletoe?" she replies "Uh-''huh''!" and more or less tackles him.

== Literature ==
* ''[[The Pickwick Papers]]'' by [[Charles Dickens]]:
{{quote| From the centre of the ceiling of this kitchen, old Wardle had just suspended, with his own hands, a huge branch of mistletoe, and this same branch of mistletoe instantaneously gave rise to a scene of general and most delightful struggling and confusion; in the midst of which, Mr. Pickwick, with a gallantry that would have done honour to a descendant of Lady Tollimglower herself, took the old lady by the hand, led her beneath the mystic branch, and saluted her in all courtesy and decorum. [...] Mr. Winkle kissed the young lady with the black eyes, and Mr. Snodgrass kissed Emily; and Mr. Weller, not being particular about the form of being under the mistletoe, kissed Emma and the other female servants, just as he caught them. As to the poor relations, they kissed everybody, not even excepting the plainer portions of the young lady visitors, who, in their excessive confusion, ran right under the mistletoe, as soon as it was hung up, without knowing it!}}
* [[Harry Potter]] gets caught under the mistletoe with Luna Lovegood, and quickly jumps out from under it. Luna considers this a wise move, "it's often infested with Nargles." Harry later finally gets his first kiss with Cho Chang under the mistletoe.

[to Zack and Hodgins] I might kiss you guys under the mistletoe, too.<br />
(to Bones) And maybe even you. In a festive, non-lesbian manner. }}
** Later, Booth and Brennan kiss under the mistletoe, at Caroline's insistence.
* ''[[Perfect Strangers]]'' episode "A Christmas Story".
{{quote| '''Larry:''' Mistletoe. It's an old tradition. You hang it over the door and women *have* to kiss you.<br />
'''Balki:''' What a gimmick! Why don't we hang it up all year long?<br />
'''Larry:''' Unfortunately, it only works at Christmas. }}
* ''Christmas Special''.
