  Mantis tells Drax that she wants to do something for Peter for Christmas, due to her secret that she is Ego's child and, therefore, Peter's sister. Thinking about giving him an unforgettable Christmas present, Drax suggests that Quill's hero, Kevin Bacon, would be a perfect option, so they take their spaceship The Bowie and fly to Earth. Walking across Los Angeles, Mantis and Drax get mistaken for cosplayers and earn a lot of money from tourists who wanted to take pictures with them. Looking for Bacon, Mantis and Drax go to the club where they get wasted, before the bystander gives them a star tours booklet with Bacon's home address. They go to Bacon's house and try to take him as a present but Bacon says that he cannot help them. However, Mantis and Drax then break into his house, so horrified Bacon calls the police and tries to run away. The police arrives but Mantis and Drax incapacitate the officers, before catching up to Bacon. Mantis uses her powers to put Bacon in a trance and convince him to go with them.

  Back at the Bowie, Mantis and Drax ask Bacon about his adventures that Quill was talking about, however, they realize that Bacon is not a hero, but just an actor. They both get disgusted, believing that actors are horrible people and thinking that Peter's perception of Bacon was warped. Mantis uses her powers to get Bacon to act as an actual hero, so Peter would not be disappointed. With the help of other inhabitants, the Guardians decorate the Knowhere for a Christmas party, which amazes Peter but he soon gets horrified when he finds out that his present is Bacon, kidnapped by Mantis and Drax. Peter immediately tells Mantis to get Bacon out of the trance and promises to get him back home, although he still freaks out. Kraglin then brings Bacon to the ship to transport him to Earth and explains that Mantis and the others simply wanted to do something nice for their friend on Christmas, who was always fascinated by Bacon. Bacon then decides to stay at the Knowhere for a while and performs a song with Bzermikitokolok at the Christmas party, during which the Guardians exchange presents.
