When Nadzia Rex casually suggests a holiday trip to Louisiana, Bucky Barnes thinks it's just a change of scenery-until he realizes he's about to step into something much bigger than mistletoe and cocoa.
With the Wilsons secretly orchestrating a festive surprise, the docks of De La Croix transform into a holiday wonderland filled with twinkling lights, Christmas markets, and the warmth of a family that already considers Bucky one of their own.
As he navigates small-town charm, festive chaos, and Nadzia's playful teasing, Bucky begins to experience a holiday like he's never had before-one where he doesn't have to fight, survive, or hide. Between stolen kisses, laughter, and quiet moments of domestic bliss, he discovers that sometimes, the greatest gift isn't wrapped in paper-it's the people who choose to call you family.
Shields & Snowflakes is a heartwarming MCU holiday romance, celebrating love, found family, and the magic of finally finding a place to belong.
