The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
{5/5} “‘That was such a heartbreaking story.’ ‘I know, I hate stories where everybody lives.'” — Mantis & Drax
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, released in 2022
When Christmastime arrives on Knowhere, a band creates a song about it for Peter Quill but it’s not exactly accurate. Mantis and Drax get the idea that they should get Peter a gift — a present from Earth, legendary hero Kevin Bacon. Of course, they don’t know what he looks like or where to find him.
This show is hilarious right from the start.
It will definitely get you into a Christmas mood. Either that, or in the mood for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Kevin Bacon gloriously plays himself.
Stars Chris Pratt, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, and Sean Gunn. It also stars the voices of Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, and Michael Rooker.
Directed by James Gunn (The Suicide Squad). The soundtrack contains some great songs, as well as music by John Murphy reminiscent of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
