Public places, parks, and restaurants witnessed an increase in romantic celebrations, while social media buzzed with #KissDay2025 trends.

Experts emphasize that while this day encourages love, it’s equally important to respect consent and personal boundaries.

So, on Kiss Day 2025, let your kisses speak louder than words, strengthening the love and trust in your relationships.
