‘The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special’
‘Tis the season to watch superheroes kidnap Kevin Bacon and wrap him up like a present. Oh — does that sound like a weird way to kick off the Christmas season? You bet it is — and that’s exactly what happens in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Marvel Studios’ first outright holiday special focuses on the biggest kid in the MCU: Star-Lord. He’s missed the last 30+ Christmases, what with being kidnapped and whisked away to outer space as a tween and all. But now Peter Quill has the kind of friends who would do anything to make him feel better — including kidnapping Quill’s #1 hero, Kevin Bacon. This special is every bit as weird as you’d expect, but it also has a surprising amount of heart.
