The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is fast approaching and now we have an official trailer for the Disney Plus series to prove it, giving fans a glimpse at the titular team exploring Christmas on Earth.

While the plot for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special remains largely under wraps, the new trailer gave us some clues, showing Peter still struggling following the events surrounding Gamora after Avengers: Endgame.

Naturally, it’s up to Drax and Mantis to cheer him up by introducing a surprise guest: his childhood hero, Kevin Bacon, with the footage suggesting that the upcoming movie will focus on the duo’s plan to capture Bacon as a gift for Peter.

Writer/director Gunn previously told RadioTimes.com:The [Guardians of the Galaxy] Holiday Special is the greatest thing I’ve ever done in my life.

“It’s totally ridiculous, and every day we can’t believe that we’re making it. We all completely love it. It is unlike anything that anyone’s ever seen before. I can’t wait for people to see it.”

For Gunn, the special will mark an epic reunion five years after he last directed the Guardians cast, which includes Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan and Dave Bautista as the titular heroes endeavouring to do good across the galaxy.

So, when can you watch the upcoming special? Read on for everything you need to know.
