雪鬼的冬季尋家漫遊，等待一個有愛與包容的家園。

漫漫長夜裡，雪鬼在漆黑的空中盤旋著尋找棲身之處。她雖是鬼魂，但就如她的柔軟外貌一樣，她其實溫柔、善良、需要保護。雪鬼飛向帶有燈火照耀的聚落，但她過於特別的存在，讓眾人總是拒她於千里之外。

傷心的她飛向了茂密的林間，這裡看起來非人煙所至，而也許只有這樣孤獨的地方，才能接納雪鬼的存在。忽然間，她找到了一個小農場，屋裡的燈火還亮著，而外頭的孩子一大一小，開心的迎接雪花的降臨。

他們看見了雪鬼到來，而鍾愛著白雪的他們絲毫不害怕雪鬼，他們一同躺在大地裡感受鬆軟的白雪，雪鬼用她的魔法，點綴了夜裡的無邊黑暗。終於，孩子們上床睡覺的時刻到來，雪鬼與他們道別，並知道自己再也不需要流浪，因為笑容與接納，就是她最好的家。
