"The ice-blue trees of Polar Point will provide a 'cool' background as couples make history while locking lips under their own live sprig of mistletoe," the company said in a news release.

Couples age 18 and older are encouraged to register at the Big Wheel beginning at 3:30 p.m. After receiving their free mistletoe, the historic countdown will take place at 5 p.m. Couples must hold their kiss on the lips for 10 seconds to qualify for the record, the news release said.
