When it comes to portraying romantic moments onscreen, the Hallmark Channel certainly knows what it’s doing, as does its stars. Along with delivering loving lines and emotionally satisfying stories, the lead performers in Hallmark shows and movies know how to kiss.
That’s why a recent smooch between Daniel Lissing and Rhiannon Fish in “Aussie at Heart” has resulted in a lively discussion about the best of the best when it comes to Hallmark kisses.
The Sizzling Kiss That Sparked the Swoon-Worthy Discussion
If you watched “Aussie at Heart” when it premiered on Saturday, August 15, or when it started streaming Hallmark+, then you’ll know that it starred Lissing and Fish, two stars who definitely have chemistry.
The story focuses on Samara (Fish), “a former lawyer now event planner,” who reconnects with Nate (Lissing), “her ex‑coworker and rival,” according to Hallmark. The two end up having to work together in order “to plan a couple’s anniversary in Queensland and begin to confront their past.” At the same time, they begin to “fall for each other.”
Because the two find romance together, they eventually share a kiss that is so intense that it prompted an Instagram post from the Deck the Hallmark Podcast, which asked, “Did Aussie at Heart contain the kiss of the year for Hallmark? 🤔”
If you see the smooch (above), then you’ll understand why it could definitely be chosen as the best lip-lock of the year. In fact, it might be among the best Hallmark kisses of all time.

The Lucabeth kiss will forever be unmatched on WCTH. Great list!
You are SO right about that Lucabeth kiss! Perfection! 💞
Lightening in a bottle! #ForeverLucaBeth!
Best kiss ever! 🔥💋
The kiss between Lucas and Elizabeth was off the charts in season 8 finale. I also loved the kisses Chris had with Lyndsay Fonseca in Holiday Crashes.
You are so right! Pure magic!
Congratulations to Chris McNally & Dan Lissing. Those were the Golden Eras of WCTH. Great list.
OH YES! 2025 Royal Montana Christmas! I have watched that one 4 times just for the kisses!!
Lucas Bryant & Kimberly Sustad in The Real West
The kiss between Tyler Hynes and Holland Roden in Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas.
Very Steamy!
The Lucabeth kiss on the Bridge should be #1❤️
The Lucabeth kiss was intentional, breathtaking, and utterly passionate. Elizabeth walked onto that bridge knowing exactly who owned her heart, and Lucas welcomed her with pure devotion. Hitting nearly three-quarters of a million views on YouTube proves how deeply this pairing struck a chord.
Go back to Snowbride and watch the kisses between the two stars. Makes me shiver just watching. And at 88 you never lose that romantic feeling.
Not sure if it was the best kiss but certainly ranks up there with the longest kiss within any Hallmark movie. This would be the kiss in the car with Luke McFarlane and Italia Ricci in “Catch me if you Claus”. Granted it was not emotional driven but well placed in the theme of what was being accomplished.
I’m going to try this again.
As many posts have stated-
Lucas & Elizabeth in

Pascale & Sam in the Air Balloon, with the Amazing Lee Brice singing, when they Kiss and the Sun cascading in the background- WOW-
We each have our favorites, I like a lot of the older Hallmark movies, Chemistry isn’t always on the Top of TPTB when choosing Leads, but it Certainly helps when they do Connect.
