MCU fans are dead certain that Mark Hamill has made a sneaky cameo in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.

Written and directed by James Gunn, the show sees see Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillan, and Pom Klementieff reprise their roles from the films.

One viewer wrote on Twitter: ‘Watched the guardians holiday special last night. @JamesGunn did a great job again, it was alot of fun even a little emotional. Was that @MarkHamill I saw having a drink by Santa?’
