Trivia: The animated sequences were actually filmed in live-action with the actors on-set, and then rotoscoped with 2D animation. Director James Gunn wanted to emulate the films of Ralph Bakshi, which often employed similar techniques of live-action footage being rotoscoped with animation.

Trivia: This was the first Marvel project conceived of for Disney+.
Kraglin: Anyways, I just saw on the Multi-calendar that right now on Earth, it's almost Christmastime. So, yeah, it kinds of brings back some memories.
Nebula: Yondu had a point. Ever since buying Knowhere from The Collector, we don't have time for trivialities like Christmas. This place needs a lot of fixing up before it's livable.
Kraglin: Yeah, I reckon we've got work to do.
Mantis: Maybe because I'm his sister, I feel like I should give Peter a happy Christmas. He's so sad about Gamora being gone. Maybe if we gave Peter a really wonderful Christmas gift, it would make him happy.
Drax: Well, we could give him those zarg-nuts except you at them all.
Mantis: Get over the zarg-nuts.
Drax: What kind of present?
Mantis: Something special he will never forget.
