Specifically, Drax (Dave Bautista) and Mantis (Pom Klementieff) take it upon themselves to deliver the goods in the only way they can.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"flex-video widescreen\"><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/embed\/inset\/iframe?id=youtube-video-OYhFFQl4fLs&amp;start=1\" data-chomp-id=\"OYhFFQl4fLs\" data-recommend-id=\"youtube:\/\/OYhFFQl4fLs\" id=\"youtube-OYhFFQl4fLs\" data-recommended=\"false\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"core-inset lazyload\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitAllowFullScreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><span data-chomp-id=\"OYhFFQl4fLs\" data-recommend-id=\"youtube:\/\/OYhFFQl4fLs\" id=\"youtube-OYhFFQl4fLs\" data-recommended=\"false\" class=\"js_recommend\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"sc-1ptbguh-0 hxeMec caption\">Marvel Studios&#8217; Special Presentation: The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special |  Official Trailer<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">The sheer delight of seeing Kevin Bacon (as himself) potentially get kidnapped to help Peter Quill forget Gamora, at least momentarily, is brilliant.  Such a fantastic payoff to the set up of Bacon being the greatest hero in Star-Lord&#8217;s mind;  Bacon&#8217;s been-named dropped a few times in the MCU at this point so it was only a matter of time before we&#8217;d see him show up. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">And we get a look at the Ravagers led by Kraglin (Sean Gunn outfitted with the fin) encouraging embracing the Terran traditions to help their beloved crew member out.  The brief glimpses of them arriving in Hollywood, exploring the Walk of Fame, and showing up at Bacon&#8217;s home really hits that special presentation tone of Christmas specials past.  We also catch a brief glimpse of buff YA Groot (Vin Diesel) and Rocket (Bradley Cooper) decorating and hosting a festive gathering.  It looks like so much unhinged fun that we&#8217;ll get to enjoy this Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"twitter-embed\"><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/embed\/inset\/iframe?id=twitter-1584970216085540865&amp;autosize=1\" autoresize=\"true\" id=\"twitter-1584970216085540865\" data-recommended=\"false\" width=\"500\" height=\"159\" class=\"core-inset lazyload\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitAllowFullScreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Watch the Guardians go on an Earth holiday November 25 streaming on Disney+.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"gcp5ez-0 hKlTiw\"\/>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\"><em>Want more io9 news?
