Nina Dobrev isn’t waiting for the Times Square ball to drop to get her New Year’s Eve kiss! On Wednesday night, the former “Vampire Diaries” star posted a sweet image on her Instagram account of her and boyfriend Austin Stowell sharing a smooch.

In the caption-less picture, which the 26-year-old actress shared with her 7 million followers, Dobrev and her beau can be seen moments away from locking lips on top of a snow-covered mountain. Talk about romantic!

According to the starlet’s social media account, the cute couple were enjoying their holiday shredding together during a snowboard getaway. (Dobrev is an avid snowboarder and has taken several photos of herself tearing up the powder this season.)

But when the twosome weren’t out riding, they spent their vacation cozying up to one another in an luxurious Airbnb cabin, according to Dobrev’s Instagram photo. Not only were the red carpet pair celebrating a white Christmas out in the mountains, but they were also ringing in Stowell’s 31st birthday, which was on Christmas Eve. To honor the “Dolphin Tale” actor’s big day, Dobrev decided to bake Stowell his favorite dessert: carrot cake.

In October, Dobrev and Stowell confirmed that they were dating in a nonchalant Twitter post after the actor realized he wasn’t following his girlfriend on the social media platform.

But it looks like Stowell wasn’t the only one at fault! Dobrev quickly responded that she too had neglected to follow his account.

“That awkward moment when u realize ur not following him either&gotta do it realfast b4 he realizes,” she quipped back along with a laughing emoji.

Let's just hope these two don't forget to steal a kiss when the clock strikes 12!
