Just in time for the holiday season, theGuardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewindroller coaster at Epcot will be receiving a festive makeover, per theGuardians of the Galaxyofficial Twitter.
In the tweet from the officialGuardians of the GalaxyTwitter account, a poster for the ride was shared featuring a red bow littered with Easter eggs including the likes of a Guardians badge and what appears to be an Epcot ball. I’m sure those who are more inundated with the Guardians of the Galaxy lore will have a field day deciphering these Easter eggs. One thing I do know is that the red ribbon outlines one of Peter Quill’s signature mixtape cassettes with ”Holiday Remix” scribbled on top of it. In the grand scheme of things, very little is known about the holiday makeover itself, what has been confirmed is that the holiday makeover will add a new song to the mixtape.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind just opened this past summer as a part of Epcot’s 40th anniversary after a delay caused by the pandemic. The ride is based on the MCU Guardians of the Galaxy films with the main cast ofChris Pratt,Zoe SaldanaandDave Bautistareprising their roles as Peter Quill, Gamora and Drax the Destroyer. Meanwhile,Bradley CooperandVin Diesel, who play Rocket the Racoon and Groot, respectively, did not return to lend their voices.

The ride also features a mixtape of sorts including the likes ofEarth, Wind and Fire’s “September” andBlondie’s “One Way or Another” in addition to a score whichTyler Bates— who composed the music for the twoGuardians of the Galaxyfilms — composed specifically for the ride.
The Guardians were last seen in the MCU this past summer with their appearance inThor: Love and Thunder. They’ve also made appearances inAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers: Endgame, but fans will have to wait until June 02, 2025 to see their third film,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
While it will be a bit until the thirdGuardians of the Galaxyfilm graces the silver screen, fans will be receiving a holiday dosage of the Guardians in theGuardians of the Galaxy Holiday Specialset to release sometime later this year. No official release date has been announced, but it should arrive sometime during the holiday season much like the Cosmic Rewind makeover.
