Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special: 10 Songs It Must Include

10. Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses

First released in 1981 on the compilation album, A Christmas Record, "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses has cemented itself as one of the most well known Christmas songs thanks to its numerous appearances on Christmas holiday compilation albums.

The song was written and produced by Chris Butler who would go onto work with the band on their future singles including "I Know What Boys Like" after his success with "one of the best holiday pop songs ever recorded".

Thanks to the cool-sounding electric guitar that starts the song off and the iconic instrumental jingle that plays throughout the chorus and the opening of the track, I think this song would be a perfect way to open the special.

It would be extremely cool to see The Benatar travelling through space with this new-wave song playing over footage of Peter Quill and Drax the Destroyer putting up the Christmas tree, with little to no help from Rocket and Groot.
