It’s that time of year. All the singles are hoping to catch their crush standing underneath the mistletoe. In the world of Netflix Stories: Love Is Blind, Winter Kiss, there’s a glowing blue wall in the way. Dating during the holidays is hard. Finding a fiancé and deciding to say “I do” during the most wonderful time of the year? Even Santa might find that a tall order. 

What is Netflix Stories: Love Is Blind, Winter Kiss about?

The holidays have come to the pods in Netflix Stories: Love Is Blind, Winter Kiss. This interactive romantic adventure presents you with four suitors to choose from on your way to the altar — one of them just so happens to be a billionaire. Which one? You’ll have to make it to New Year’s to find out.

Your pod dates all have a festive twist, whether it’s discussing family traditions or what you hope for on future holidays. Maybe you just catch a mutual buzz from the egg nog. Love Is Blind always feels like a race against the clock, and adding the holidays into the mix seems like it’d ratchet up the pressure even higher. 

But it doesn’t. A smaller group of singles makes for a more intimate affair all around. Sure, New Year’s Eve and proposal day are always looming, but somehow all the romance in the air overpowers the seasonal stress.

It’s not Valentine’s Day yet, but that won’t stop you from playing Cupid. You’ll help your future BFFs Eric and Talia fall in love while you’re finding it for yourself. This time you’ve got four distinct choices: Jae, Lucia, Charlie, and Isaac. If you want to take the conversation to more intimate topics, you have to narrow down your options and send two suitors packing. 

What kind of game is Netflix Stories: Love Is Blind, Winter Kiss?

The choices you make and what you say will shape who you fall in love with and how your wintry happily ever after plays out. 

Will you tie the knot before the ball drops? Or would you rather wait for a New Year’s Day ceremony? How your story ends is up to you.

The conversations you’ll have are suitable for the season as well. Finding out how someone spent Christmas growing up is a unique window into their personal history — this kind of discussion doesn’t quite hit the same on the Fourth of July.
