All of the Guardians are Peter's family, of course... but only Mantis is ACTUALLY his sister. Such a heart warming moment.

The band is the Old 97's. They are James Gunn's favorite band. (And one of mine.) He asked lead singer Rhett Miller to help him write the song, and while they were doing it, he just decided the heck with it, and asked them to be the actual band.

I love that this was so Mantis-centric. Quickly becoming a fave character - hilarious.

I just realized what Gunn does. He takes side characters and smaller villains and brings their real humanity and silliness. Sort of like how Tarantino takes mid level crooks and makes them his focus in every movie, character that would barely get a speaking scene in a regular movie.

Michael Rooker coming back as Yondu, Drax getting tickled by the bullets, Groot's gift for Kraglin (easily the best of the set), Mantis tackling "Steve", Bucky's arm (I totally expected a gun too, didn't expect THAT "gun")... The constant self-awareness about actors being pieces of shit, lol...

Love your energy 😂they got me good this time. I wasn’t ready 😢

Knowhere was indeed wrecked by Thanos, which probably explains how they were able to buy it in the first place, why the Collector was willing to part with it, and why it is in need of so much repair. The "What If" series are all things that occurred in alternate realities of the multiverse.

This was Awesome special, I going to watch this every December!

The people surprises with Mantis fighting skills bug in the comics she Is one of the most skilled fighters of the guardians and we have to remember she always lived with ego but now she traveled for years protecting the Galaxy with the guardians so now she had experience and surely a lot of lessons from everybody. What a nice special, love your reaction i cried when Peter says Mantis Is his best gift ❤️😭

Mantis' mother is in Guardians 2 when they flash through the women Ego mated with to produce children. Mantis was spared because she has a mind control like power.

James Gunn is the bridge to both DC and Marvel fandoms liking and respecting each other. He might also be the key to making a Marvel x DC crossover event happen.

10:53 Fun Fact: The bartender is played by Flula Borg who also played Javelin in The Suicide Squad.

The voice of Cosmo the dog is the actress who played Borat's daughter in Borat 2, Maria Bakalova.

This was a sweet, beautiful special. I really loved it was Mantis and Drax being central because I don't think they get enough love. I suspected Mantis was Peter's sister and was glad to be right. Cosmo is a great addition. We are well set up for the upcoming pain in Guardians 3. Mantis in the comics is the Celestial Madonna and a fierce fighter. Knowhere is a Celestial skull. It was owned by The Collector and the city inside was pretty much destroyed in Infinity War. That is what they are rebuilding. This will be a special to watch yearly.

You''re adorable and it's so sweet that you tear up at the sensitive moments in the movies.Regards from N.Z.

He is definitely not from Earth, but I would’ve loved more Howard.

So much warmth in the heart of this movie. Random thought I had while watching, it's kind of weird how he's called Drax The Destroyer but his primary super power seems to be that he is indestructible. P.s. Knowhere was overgrown in an alternate universe, where T'challa became Starlord. If I had to guess the Collector's entire operation was probably destroyed by Thanos but the skull itself was fine so they were able to buy it up "cheap" as a fixer-uper. I'd love it if it was Nebula and Rocket's idea since they weren't snapped and would have had 5 years to plan on acquiring it. Setting goals and working towards them. They bought a house.

Rocket did say in Infinity War that he was getting Bucky's arm. "Oh I'm getting that arm."

Holiday Special is Sweetest Gift from James Gunn and Kevin feige to Marvel Fans 💖 GOTG VOL 3 Gonna be Epic and Emotional 🔥💔

I want to put Drax and Mantis' laughs in a magic box that I can open whenever I'm feeling like shit.

From starting off with one of the only Christmas songs I like (The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl), to giving us a Mantis & Drax road-trip caper, to making Kevin Bacon pretty much the hero that Peter thought he was (though in a different way), this was an out-of-the-park grand-slam by James Gunn. Anything that makes me laugh, cry, and cheer gets an A+ in my book, and this definitely qualifies.

Drax being literal looks at actors as professional liars.

I didn't know what to expect of this special but it really had its moments and it was very funny, Like Drax laughing while getting shot Lol.

When James Gunn is also the head of DC now which means he also has the freedom to use DC characters names in his Marvel projects i.e Bruce Wayne / Batman. I'm honestly looking forward to GOTG3 to see which DC reference he puts in there.

Regarding Mantis' fighting skills, in the comics she is an excellent hand-to-hand combat fighter we just didn't get to see it happen in all the movies she was in, Endgame would've been a good opportunity to showcase it but alas it wasn't shown, but I'm happy it was addressed in this special even if it's just a simple easy part.

A sweet / cheesy and fun Christmas special - unabashedly fluffy and silly but managed a little feels hit with Peter and Mantis at the end. And there will no doubt be a Christmas Awesome Mix from this and it will be on hard rotation in my house.

28:25 I predict a sniggering Rocket complimenting Bucky on his new arm in a future movie. Nebula knew her way around Earth, she was based out of it for years between Infinity War and Endgame, and had all of the credentials needed to get close to Bucky. The instant I saw Nebula giving a gift to Rocket, I knew it was either Bucky's M249, or his arm.

Hmm... I'd say my favorite part was Cosmo interacting with Rocket, Craglin and the others. But this was Pom's show all the way; she committed to Mantis like nothing I've ever seen, and that gave her scenes with both Drax and Peter an emotional heft they might otherwise have lacked.

The holiday special has become a holiday tradition for me now, so what's in your reaction is also a tradition.😊

Yeah Kevin and his brother have a real band that tours

I’m so glad the finally used Cosmo!
