Will there be another ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special’ in 2023?

'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' was the last time we saw these characters in 2023, but could they ever return?

This article contains spoilers for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is a delightful, if very light, slice of Christmas cheer.

The special ends with a tear-jerking moment and oodles of festive spirit. Everyone involved seems to have had fun making this, but after the credits roll, there’s a tease that the Guardians of the Galaxy might not be done with Christmas just yet.

How did the first GotG special hint at another?

The goofy plot sees Drax and Mantis attempting to make up for Peter Quill’s many missed Christmases in space by bringing him the perfect present: Kevin Bacon. Bacon, playing himself, isn’t best pleased to be transported to an alien city located inside a colossal decapitated head, but soon gets into the holiday spirit.

The post-credits scene sees Rocket and Cosmo the Spacedog decorating Groot like a Christmas tree. Groot shrugs off the tinsel and baubles, causing Cosmos to exasperatedly say “Groot ruined Christmas again!” Rocket looks at the camera and says “Now we got to have another special.”

After seeing the MCU’s spacefaring heroes in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in 2023, it is Disney Plus adventure from the heroes for that holiday just before we head into Vol. 3.

We don’t yet have any official announcements one way or the other, but we can still hold out hope.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is now streaming on Disney Plus.
