Wow this was full of hearts and had no rights being that good. The humor really worked as I laughed numerous times throughout and it was very touching too. These special presentations are gold.

Another Special Presentation from Marvel, and another success. This is the way Marvel should move forward as the TV shows are too much. But this is great fun. It's simple, effective and fun. This will probably something I watch for many Christmas' to come. It doesn't break the mold, but it's a fun 45 minutes at Christmas time, especially if you love these characters. This is really a Mantis showcase. This is the best she has looked so far and hopefully that continues on to Volume 3. Also the music is fantastic. DC is in very good hands with James Gunn.

9/10 because Groot got a Gameboy gameboy

After "Werewolf by Night", I would also classify the second special in the MCU as a success. James Gunn manages to establish a Christmas vibe right from the beginning. It's consistent throughout and never boring thanks to the short 44-minute running time. This special features all of the current Guardians, with Mantis and Drax taking the lead. Especially with Mantis, it was certainly time to learn a bit more about the character. You shouldn't expect anything significant to occur here. It's unlikely that it's required viewing for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Nonetheless, this brief Christmas episode starring the Guardians and Kevin Bacon is worth watching.
