) and Mantis remember that Peter loved Christmas when he was a kid on Earth – and Bacon is his all-time hero – so they hop in a spaceship and travel to LA to bring the actor back as a present for their sad buddy.Drax and Mantis together are “Costello and Costello,” Gunn says. “They've been in the distant background for Marvel movies and to bring them to the forefront and just enjoy them as the unattended firehose that the two of them are together was a lot of fun.
High jinks with decorations, drunken shenanigans and a dust-up with the law ensue, but Gunn says he also loved embracing a 1970s holiday special vibe and telling “a sentimental story about the holidays within the anarchic trappings” of his space-bound bunch. “You need to anchor yourself to something emotionally to tell these stories.

Bacon, who enjoyed the Christmas party feel on set , also sings a holiday tune with the band Old 97's – dressed up as a musical group of space outlaw Ravagers – in the special, which filmed at the same time as “Vol. 3."Gunn included nods to what fans will see in the upcoming movie, such as the debut of the new four-story-tall ship The Bowie and an appearance from the telepathic Soviet space dog Cosmo, a computer-generated character played by Maria Bakalova.
