Is There A Post-Credits Scene in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special Explained
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is perfect for the Christmas season as it delivers a heartfelt and hilarious holiday mayhem with the Guardians and Mantis and Drax decides to give Peter Quill the Christmas he deserves. Though they had a little hiccup in the middle where Peter got a little angry when he learned they abducted Kevin Bacon, it ended up to be a cheery Christmas celebration in Knowhere and Peter got the best Christmas gift he could ask for, not Kevin Bacon, but a sister as Mantis reveals her huge secret that they are siblings. For the post-credits scene, it doesn’t happen until the very last second after all the credits roll. What better way to celebrate Christmas without a Christmas tree, right? Well, the Guardians of the Galaxy has a tree with them, Groot, and it is really hilarious that the post-credits scene is like that!

The post-credits scene of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special shows Rocket and Cosmo the Spacedog decorating Groot as their very own Christmas tree, and Groot isn’t quite stoked about it because he would have to lift his arms for the decorations. When Groot puts his arms down, Rocket and Cosmo says Groot ruined Christmas so they would have to make another Christmas special. It’s a fun tag, and it also teases that maybe, sometime in the future of the MCU, there would be another holiday special presentation from Marvel. More than that, it shows how Rocket and Cosmo the Spacedog are bonding. See, both of them are animals experimented on, and Cosmo even showed that she has telekinetic abilities which Rocket trains her to master. It could be a pivotal plot coming into Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!
