Guardians Holiday Special

 

It has been a few years since we have seen the guardians of the galaxy on screen together in such a lighthearted fashion. This time, it is around the holidays and with all of the recent events in the MCU, mantis and Drax want to try to bring some Christmas joy to peters life. While at the home of the Ravagers they get this idea to get Peter the greatest gift he can ask for and travel to earth to fetch the gift which results in one of the most hilarious cameos in the MCU.

James Gunn has shown us time and time again between marvel and DC why he is such a fantastic storyteller and Director; He has made us fall in love with this team, and really care for them. With Marvel phase 4 mostly consisting of films revolving around grieving, it is great to see the guardians taking some time off and enjoying the time together in such a wholesome fashion. 

A few guardians didn’t get as much spotlight in this special, as it focused mainly on Drax and Mantis but there is only so much you can sqeeeze in a 40 minute episode.

Guardians of the Galaxy holiday is an unexpected surprise this holiday. This is surely going to be part of my seasonal Christmas watchlist for years to come.

The guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is available on Disney plus November 25th.
