The megafranchise got into the holiday spirit with a pair of one hour specials. It's reasonable to assume that future specials are in various stages of conception, as evidenced by the recent Christmas special and the Halloween special. There is a chance that some of the specials will be animated instead of being live action.

Some specials will feature legacy characters getting up to shenanigans, others will introduce a specific character and supporting cast for audiences to be introduced to, and the two specials released so far give us an idea of what we can expect from upcoming installments. A special for the celebratory month of a particular minority group may be released by Marvel Studios, just like in the comic books.
