Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is the third and last film in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The third film in the franchise has been something fans have been waiting for many years. It was rumored for a longtime that at San Diego Comic Con we’ll be getting a small tease of the film. We did but it was only for the people in attendance. Fans including me were disappointed as we wanted to see more from the best team in the MCU now that there are no Avengers and director James Gunn understands this. That is why before we see the final film in the Guardians franchise, he has prepared us a delicious Christmas special. An hour long fun time with our favorite characters. This year we got Marvel’s first special, while Werewolf by Night introduced many new concepts and characters, GOTG special won’t do that.

It is basically a family Christmas movie with our favorite Guardians. We knew this was coming but we didn’t have any other update regarding this till today. Marvel has finally released a full length trailer today for the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Let’s a take a look at it.

Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special Introduces Kevin Bacon To The MCU!

We last saw this gang of rag tag losers in Thor: Love and Thunder where they were trying to save a planet being destroyed alongside Thor. Soon after that in the film, we see that Thor and the Guardians split ways as Thor goes to rescue Lady Sif and the Guardians set out to answer a number of distress calls. While the film was one of the worst of the year, this bit was fun. The holiday special begins with some time gone in the middle? How do I know? Groot is huge now. He has become Adult Groot and his voice has also changed.

The plot of the Christmas Special is extremely simple. The Guardians are worried about Peter as he is sad about Gamora leaving and the group. So, to make his life cheerful again, the Guardians decide to celebrate Christmas with him so that he is cheerful again. They enjoy Earth at Christmas time until Drax realizes that bringing Kevin Bacon as  a Christmas gift is possible. Finally Drax and Mantis try to pick-up Bacon as a gift but he continues to run. I’m not sure where this special is placed, timeline wise?
