It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Kamala Khan now as a aunt, she and her family excited for Aamir and Tyesha staying for the holidays to see there baby boy., When a cosmic sleigh crashes in Jersey City, Kamala discovers that the real Santa Claus has been ambushed by Shocker and The Enforcers, who have stolen the cosmic engine that powers his multiversal gift‑delivery route. With Christmas magic collapsing, Kamala assembles a new team of young heroes — Kate Bishop, America Chavez, Cassie Lang, Elijah Bradley, Harley Keener, Skaar, and a displaced Teen Groot Variant from a universe where Rocket was snapped like the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy and Groot became an Avenger. At the same time, a feral black‑suited Spider-Man terrorizes New York. The Young Avengers don’t remember Peter Parker, but they recognize the danger. Their investigation reveals that the symbiote is feeding on Peter’s deepest wound: the memory of a harsh, volatile Ben Parker, whose furious “responsibility speech” shaped Peter through fear rather than wisdom. The team splits — half racing to recover Santa’s engine, the other trying to save Spider-Man from the symbiote consuming him. As Shocker unleashes a citywide Christmas crime spree, the Young Avengers battle through holiday chaos using trick arrows, embiggened fists, malfunctioning armor, and Groot Variant’s glowing ornament‑like branches.
