This whimsical Christmas trail in Ontario includes 7 mistletoe stops

Want to sneak a kiss with that special someone? I know the perfect way. The Explore Waterloo Region Mistletoe Trail is a special holiday trial in Ontario with seven “Instagrammable” locations with mistletoe hung, an adorable date night idea this holiday season.

Getting there

You’ll need a car if you’re planning on checking out the Waterloo Region Mistletoe Trail as it spans across different towns and cities in the area.

Stops include Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, Woolwich Township, Wilmot Township, Wellesley Township, and North Dumfries Township.

If you’re starting in Cambridge and driving in from Toronto, it will take you around an hour and a half to get there.

“The Mistletoe Trail is a magical way to explore Waterloo Region during the holidays,” says Ashley Lansink, Director of Marketing at Explore Waterloo Region. “We’re thrilled to bring back this festive journey, featuring mistletoe installations created by local artists in each of our cities and townships.”

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for friends, families, and couples to enjoy the season, discover local businesses, and capture special moments together,” Lansink continues. 

The stops include:

• Cambridge: The Public Square at the Gaslight District
• Kitchener: The Downtown Kitchener Lightbox in the Rotary Plaza behind Kitchener City Hall
• Waterloo: The Heart of Uptown Waterloo sculpture at the corner of King and William Streets
• Woolwich Township: The West Montrose Covered Bridge (“Kissing Bridge”) in West Montrose
• Wilmot Township: At the front doors at Castle Kilbride in Baden
• Wellesley Township: The historic Olde Heidelberg Restaurant and Tavern in Heidelberg
• North Dumfries Township: The Pavilion in Centennial Park in Ayr

We can’t think of a cuter way to spend an evening as the holiday season rolls on. Be sure to check out each location’s nearby restaurants and stores for Mistletoe-themed offerings like cocktails and giftsets.
