In another scene from the teaser, the hungry little guy is seen preparing a giant supper of marshmallows and cream.
Other moments featured in the trailer show Baby Groot coming face-to-face with a giant spewing flaming lava, as well as building a mechanised snowman.
A Star is Born actor Bradley Cooper will also once again feature in the new series as Baby Goot’s pal Rocket, a genetically-modified raccoon.
Originally appearing as a character in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, Groot got his own series with I Am Groot, with season 1 debuting in 2022.
Vin Diesel was reported to have been paid $54 million for voicing Groot in Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy franchise.
In April, filmmaker James Gunn, who has directed all three Guardians of the Galaxy films, took to Twitter to debunk the rumour which has been circulating for years.

Replying to a tweet which showed a screenshot of an article claiming that Diesel received the astronomical figure for a role only requiring uttering the words ‘I am Groot’ over and over again, he had a simple answer.
With a laughing emoji, he commented: ‘Not true.’
Although many were sceptical about the number, the animated tree is a key part of the Guardians Of The Galaxy trilogy.
Diesel voiced the character in all three movies, and as one of Hollywood’s most well-known faces – and voices – that will presumably garner a sizeable fee no matter what.
