The first reactions to James Gunnof the upcoming Marvel special Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special They’ve hit social media and everything I’ve read so far is super positive! This is a project I’ve been looking forward to and it’s great to see that the critics are loving it.
Judging by the trailer that has been released, the special appears to offer some heartfelt, entertaining Christmas entertainment. Gunn has previously said that this little film is the best thing he’s ever done:
“The Holiday Special is the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life. It’s totally ridiculous and every day we can’t believe we’re doing it. We all absolutely love it. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. I can’t see long for people to see it.”
In the film, Star-Lord is feeling very down about his situation with Gamora. So Drax and Mantis head to Earth to bring back Peter Quill the perfect gift to cheer him up! Something he will never forget! That gift is Quill’s favorite actor of all time… Kevin Bacon!
The film is the protagonist Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Dave Bautista like Drax, Vin Diesel like Groot, Bradley Cooper like Rocket, Pom Clementieff such as Mantis, e Sean Gunn like Kraglin. It has also been revealed that Michael Rocker will appear in the movie!
Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will be released on November 25, 2022. Check out some of the reactions below and let us know what you think!

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is really fun. Here for all that celebrating The Legendary Kevin Bacon, but this is the Dave Bautista and Pom Klementieff aka Drax and Mantis Go to Hollywood show, and they’re a total riot. Especially while you’re drunk.

“The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” is very funny and made me smile a lot. Unlike everything Marvel is not pushing the next MCU movie or show. That’s exactly what the title is selling a holiday special. If you are a fan of Drax and Mantis you will love this. pic.twitter.com/f05ddmE1mP

I saw the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special!
Pom Klementieff and Dave Bautista are joyful together to laugh out loud. The nuance that James Gunn brings to emotional beats is great, and the little MCU tie-ins are exciting for hardcore followers. Well done. pic.twitter.com/yqBLXsSaDM

The #GOTGHoliday special will melt the heart of any “No Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving” purist. A beautiful story from @jamesgunn which shows everyone why @PomKlementieff And @DaveBautista they are so damn good at what they do.

THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY HOLIDAY SPECIAL is so much fun!! Happy to have these fucking weirdos back front and center after their barely there cameo in LOVE AND THUNDER. Mantis is truly one of the best characters in the MCU. 🎄❄️🛸

The Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special was very charming. It is full of heart, action and laughter. The ending hits VERY hard. Groot being practical was stupid. Music was great too 10/10 pic.twitter.com/HWQ1KOjaXg
