Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) is not having the Christmas feeling. Mantis (Pom Klementieff) and Drax (Dave Bautista) intends to change that. They are going to Earth to kidnap Kevin Bacon for Peter's gift. They assume that he is Earth's greatest hero.
This is fun. Mantis is a revelation. She and Drax need to go on more misadventures together. With a Holiday Special, I'm expecting some greater wackiness. It doesn't even have to make sense. That's what's missing here. I want them to throw spaghetti on the wall and see which sticks. Other than the Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the randomness isn't quite here. It does have Kevin Bacon, but he's not anything wacky. He's just nice guy Kevin Bacon. They could have made him into a narcissist. All in all, this is a fun little Christmas Special, but it's not going to be one of the classics.
