Not only is this a perfect opportunity to share a kiss, a hug, or a high-five with a loved one, but it’s also your chance to get outdoors during the holidays and explore a spot you might not have known about before.
For example, make a day out of following the trail, and explore some shops, cafes and holiday markets along the way!
And, fun fact? Each mistletoe was created by a different artist from the Button Factory Arts Centre in Waterloo. So you can experience some local art on the trail, too!
