- Western NC Greenery
- Classic Holiday Tradition
Invite guests in with a festive flourish. This 12-inch kissing ball is handcrafted with aromatic Christmas greenery sourced from Western North Carolina, including areas affected by Hurricane Helene. It’s a traditional alternative to mistletoe, with a fuller shape and a naturally fragrant finish. We recommend hanging it in a covered entry or between rooms where guests can enjoy the scent and texture up close.
The spherical shape looks finished from every side, so it works well in open spaces, under porch ceilings, or centered in a window. The fresh foliage adds seasonal color and doesn't need much styling beyond a ribbon or hook. It’s also a thoughtful holiday gift for someone who enjoys fresh greenery but may not have room for a larger wreath or tree.

- Compost or discard the greenery after the holiday season once it becomes dry.
FAQs
What is a kissing ball and where does it look best?
A kissing ball is a globe of fresh greenery designed to hang vertically. It’s ideal under archways and porch ceilings, in entry halls, or displayed on a pedestal or stand as a centerpiece when hanging isn’t practical.
Can I use it indoors and outdoors?
Yes. It works beautifully in both. For the longest life, hang it outdoors in a covered, cool spot. Indoors, choose a location away from direct sunlight and heat sources to slow drying.
How do I hang it securely?
Attach with a strong ribbon or chain to a ceiling hook, porch hook, or removable adhesive hook rated for several pounds. If wind is a concern outdoors, shorten the hanging length to limit movement.
How do I keep it fresh?
Mist the greens lightly every day or two and avoid hot, sunny locations. Cooler temperatures help preserve color and needles. If displayed over a table, allow foliage to dry after misting before use.
Can I decorate it further?
Absolutely. Tuck in small ornament picks, pinecones, or battery-powered micro-lights. Secure additions with floral wire so they stay in place without compressing the greenery.
