As it’s a Marvel special presentation as opposed to a movie or series, like Werewolf by Night earlier this year, it is exclusive to Disney+ and won’t be showing in cinemas or on any other platform. It also won’t be available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime or other on-demand services.
What is the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special about?
The Holiday Special follows Mantis (Pom Klementieff) and Drax (Dave Bautista) as they try to give Peter, aka Star-Lord, the perfect Christmas. They head to Earth to get him the best gift they can think of: legendary hero Kevin Bacon, in the flesh.
Meanwhile, Groot (Vin Diesel) has become a larger teenage tree, and Rocket (Bradley Cooper) is busy training Cosmo the Spacedog (Maria Bakalova) to use her telekinetic powers.
James Gunn has described the special as an “epilogue” to Phase Four, with a “lot of big information” to keep an eye out for ahead of Vol. 3.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will be available to stream on November 25. You can sign up for Disney+ here.
