Despite rumors that suggest otherwise, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special runtime isn’t as long as you might think.
On Friday, Nov. 25, Marvel will kick off the holiday season with its first live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe-set holiday special with the release of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
In the new holiday special, Mantis and Drax set out on a personal mission to give Star-Lord an unforgettable Christmas. To do so, the pair head to Earth in search of the ultimate Christmas present: Kevin Bacon.
The special is sure to be a perfect way to kick off the holiday season and Marvel fans are eager to see what Marvel has in store for the special. Because it’s only the second-ever MCU-set special from Marvel, though, there are a lot of questions regarding how long the special will be.
