Mistletoe is a parasitic plant that grows on trees. In some cultures, it's traditional to hang it up somewhere at parties, with the additional custom that if two people meet under it, they ought to kiss. Naturally, this produces some good opportunities for writers.

Some writers may indulge in a bit of [[Ship Tease]].
