Top 10 Best Teen Drama Kisses Ever

Top 10 Best Teen Drama Kisses Ever
VOICE OVER: Phoebe de Jeu WRITTEN BY: Felicia Tarantino
These teen drama kisses are for the ages. For this list, we'll be looking at the most swoon-worthy smooches in our favorite adolescent-centered TV series. Our countdown includes "Dawson's Creek," "The O.C.," "Glee," and more!

#10: Joey Potter & Pacey Witter’s Boat Smooch
“Dawson's Creek” (1998-2003)


Dawson or Pacey? That is the question that kept teen viewers on the edge of their seat when this “Dawson’s Creek” episode aired in 2000. In the season three finale, Joey Potter has to follow her heart and see if it takes her to her best friend Dawson Leery or jokester Pacey Witter. And she ultimately chooses Pacey. After a tense race to the pier, Joey is able to confess all her feelings to him before his departure. And if the mad dash, and emotional outpouring wasn’t enough to make you breathless, their picture perfect kiss will do the trick. As an added bonus, this episode gave us one of the most iconic memes of this generation — unfortunately, it came at the cost of Dawson’s heartbreak.

#9: Aria Montgomery & Ezra Fitz’s Rain Kiss
“Pretty Little Liars” (2010-17)


We can’t praise Ezra Fitz dating his student. However, we have to admit that his relationship with Aria Montgomery is one of the series’ most enduring. The pair are tested often as they navigate the waters of their particular arrangement. With Ezra no longer working at Rosewood High, an opportunity to be together presents itself. Except Aria’s parents aren’t thrilled about the budding romance and forbid it. Desperate to make things work, she gives him an ultimatum of sorts SB. Luckily, he shows – and the moment they realize their relationship isn’t over is instantly rewatchable. Intense, rain-soaked kisses rarely disappoint, and this is no exception!

#8: Willow Rosenberg & Tara Maclay’s Reconciliatory Liplock
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (1997-2003)


When Willow Rosenberg and Tara Maclay got together, it made a major impact on network TV. Their relationship was not only dynamic, but also paved the way for future on-screen LGBTQIA+ couples. While their connection is undeniable, Willow’s use of dark magic frequently becomes a source of contention. After a separation due to her inability to stop, the pair meet up for coffee, with hopes of mending old wounds. Just when all hope seems lost, the two reunite in an intense moment of passion in Willow’s room. Unfortunately, the reconciliation is short-lived. To the criticism of many fans, Tara dies tragically in the following episode. We wish we could’ve seen where this relationship would’ve gone. But for now, we're reliving this romantic moment on repeat.

#7: Effy Stonem & Freddie McClair’s First Kiss
“Skins” (2007-13)


From the minute Freddie McClair lays eyes on Effy Stonem, it’s obvious that this pair is going to have a whirlwind romance for the ages. While it seems like the two are perfect for each other, their relationship is not without its challenges—namely the fact that Freddie’s best friend, Cook, also has feelings for Effy. Embroiled in a love triangle, Freddie finally decides to make a move with a super romantic and spontaneous gesture. When he finds her unexpectedly, his look says it all. Even after chasing through the park, he can’t stand to wait another moment, and swims out to meet her. The pair share a kiss in the middle of the lake. Talk about a steamy encounter!

#6: Seth Cohen & Summer Roberts’ “Spider-Man” Smooch
“The O.C.” (2003-07)


It’s the classic story of a dorky guy and popular girl. But who knew it could be this sweet? Seth Cohen and Summer Roberts have been hashtag-relationship-goals since 2003. But after they choose each other in season one, season two brings stormy skies for the duo, and she starts dating someone new named Zach. Things culminate in Seth trying — and failing — to persuade Summer to not go to Italy with her new beau. But once she arrives at the airport, she can’t deny her true feelings. She races back to Seth in the rain only to find Seth in an interesting predicament. The Spider-Man kiss, the rain, the build up…it’s a truly perfect moment for this unlikely match.

#5: Stiles Stilinski & Lydia Martin’s Intense Embrace
“Teen Wolf” (2011-17)


In its original six season run, “Teen Wolf” gave viewers a long list of romantic moments to love. Now, we love a good kiss in the rain as much as the next person. But there’s no way we could overlook this long-awaited moment between the fan-favorite pairing, Stydia. How could we not talk about this kiss? Stiles waited forever to get the girl, and when he does in this season six episode, it’s perfectly executed. He’s attacked by a rider in a face off to save Beacon Hills. Just when things are looking grim, Lydia appears in a swift rescue scene. In the heat of the moment, the two embrace as Stiles locks lips with the girl of his dreams.

#4: Blair Waldorf & Chuck Bass’ Love-Filled Kiss
“Gossip Girl” (2007-12)


Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass have no shortage of memorable kisses, including their very first hook up in his limo. While we can’t ever forget that moment, our favorite has to be the liplock that marks the start of their relationship. These two hot-headed schemers are slow to make things officially official, especially when Chuck can’t say the three words Blair wants to hear most. But their moment finally comes when he showers her with all her favorite things in the season two finale. The kiss that follows is epic. You could even say it’s simply blog-worthy.

#3: Nathan Scott & Haley James’ First Kiss
“One Tree Hill” (2003-12)


This beloved couple eventually gets their happily ever after. But it’s safe to say that Nathan and Haley face their fair share of obstacles along the way. The two initially come together when Haley reluctantly agrees to tutor Nathan. But it doesn’t take very long for things to progress and become more than academic. After a number of setbacks, he shows up at her house, flinging rocks at her window—well, her parents’ window. But for a moment, it looks like this romance will be cut short. One kiss becomes a passionate embrace, and the whole thing can only be described as swoon-worthy. The fact that it doubles as an iconic musical moment in the show is just the cherry on top.

#2: Brittany Pierce & Santana Lopez’s Valentine’s Liplock
“Glee” (2009-15)


When it comes to on-screen LGBTQIA+ representation, “Glee” isn’t perfect. But it delivers some fantastic pairings. For instance, we always cheer for Kurt and Blaine’s first smooch. However, when it comes to memorable kisses, we have to talk about this season three moment between Brittany and Santana. As Valentine’s Day approaches, the power couple is unfortunately advised to keep PDA to a minimum. Meanwhile, newcomer Joe is unsure how he feels about a request from Santana to sing a telegram to Brittany. Thankfully, he and the rest of “the God Squad” ultimately do serenade Brittany, and we’re treated to a heartwarming display of love. You can see how much Santana and Brittany care for one another, and it’s magical.

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

#1: Elena Gilbert & Damon Salvatore’s Motel Makeout
“The Vampire Diaries” (2009-17)


Regardless of which pairing you ship, there’s no denying that the motel kiss between Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore is one of the steamiest moments of the show. At first, Elena’s relationship with the younger Salvatore brother seems like a sure thing. But it gradually becomes clear to viewers that there is a serious love triangle brewing. Things culminate in the third season when Elena and Damon, along with Elena’s brother Jeremy, embark on a road trip to get answers about the origins of the Salvatore vampire bloodline. The trio stop at a motel, where the tension between Elena and Damon rises, ultimately resulting in a showstopping, heated kiss outside their room. While we love Stefan, this passionate moment made us into Delena fans forever.
