TV Special - The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022) [+]

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is a 35 minute live action story wherein Mantis (Pom Klementieff) and Drax (Dave Bautista) take it upon themselves to bring Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) the greatest Christmas present ever: action hero Kevin Bacon (himself) of Earth.

The main story is a fairly hilarious one with two powerful aliens romping through Bacon's house and tangling with the local police trying not to kill anyone. There's a beginning section where the Old 97's play an alien band singing a "traditional" Christmas song with an all-powerful Santa Claus vaporizing evildoers and oppressing his sweatshop elves. Once Bacon arrives he also sings a Christmas song.

It's a very entertaining holiday story with all the Guardians making appearances except Gamora.
