Christmas Kissing Drones

TGI Fridays UK Gets Couples to Kiss Under the Mistletoe

TGI Fridays UK found that nearly half of the adults in the UK have never shared a kiss under the mistletoe and decided to remedy this in the spirit of "#Togethermas."

The #Togethermas campaign is all about inspiring people to come together over the holiday season and to do this, TGI Fridays brought a drone carrying mistletoe into its restaurant. The drone was also equipped with a kiss cam to capture all of those spontaneous smooches. If you're dining at TDI Fridays this holiday season, you might want to keep an eye out for this romance-inducing drone.

Although the use of drones equipped with mistletoe and cameras isn't a totally original idea, the way it is worked into a commercial holiday campaign for this restaurant chain is heartwarming and fun.
