The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special arrives on Disney+ this Friday, and it probably won't surprise you to learn it has one heckuva soundtrack.
Writer and director James Gunn has now shared a full tracklist, including an original song, "Here It Is Christmastime" by The Old 97's, and a cover of "Here It Is Christmastime" by them and actor Kevin Bacon. There's a tonne of classic tunes as well, though, including "Fairytale of New York," "Christmastime," and "Is This Christmas?"
The filmmaker also confirmed the Special's score will be released today and confirmed it was composed by John Murphy (The Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3).
It's obvious Gunn has crafted a suitably seasonal adventure for the Guardians here, so the fact it's jam-packed with great holiday tunes shouldn't come as a surprise. Needless to say, we're sure both this Special and the soundtrack will soon be deemed Christmas classics!
