The Explore Waterloo Region Mistletoe Collection

The Explore Waterloo Region Mistletoe Collection features seven original, artist-created mistletoes from the 2025 Mistletoe Trail in Waterloo Region.

These seven, unique pieces were created by local and Canadian artists. Each mistletoe was inspired by a creative vision that transformed this familiar holiday symbol into an original work of art.

The 2025 mistletoes have been curated into a single collection that is on display at TriSisters Art House in St. Jacobs throughout the holiday season.
