Fast food fans, brace yourself…
The collab you never knew you needed is incoming, as KFC is teaming up with Stranger Things to launch a new Hawkins-inspired menu.
Customers at the fried chicken chain are being invited to enter the Upside Down, with two brand new items dropping this month, ahead of Season 5.
But the items will only be around for a limited-time, and once the ‘flavour portal’ closes, they’ll be gone forever.
What’s on the new KFC x Stranger Things menu?
First up, there’s a Stranger Things Burger (£7.99), with a ‘bold’ red bun that’s apparently ‘giving Vecna’.
The burger features a spicy Zinger chicken fillet, cheese, crunchy pickled slaw, burger dressing and a brand new Sweet & Spicy Secret Sauce.
The whole thing is served in KFC’s first-ever red glazed bun, which is topped with black sesame seeds and the chain describes the burger as ‘saucy, juicy and unapologetically bold’.
People will have the choice to order the burger on its own, as a meal (£9.49) with regular signature fries and a drink, or as a box meal (£10.99) with fries, a choice of chicken, an extra side and a drink.
As well as this new Stranger Wings (£3.99) are going to be available, which are a three-piece and see classic chicken wings drenched in the new secret hot sauce that ‘delivers a supernatural kick enough to rift your taste buds wide open’.
Kate Tipper, marketing director at KFC UK&I said: ‘KFC and Stranger Things fans know that when you have an obsession, you’ll stop at nothing for it.
‘It’s this obsessive nature that makes this collaboration a perfect match, placing KFC authentically at the heart of the Stranger Things world.’
When does the Stranger Things menu launch at KFC?
The new Stranger Things menu will be available at KFC for a limited-time only from November 10 until January 4, 2026.
And fans should keep their eyes peeled for more from the partnership, as the chain has teased that this is ‘just the beginning’.
They added: ‘Something is coming and you’ll want to be there when the lights start flickering…’
In other fast food news, McDonald’s recently announced a major change is coming to classic Happy Meal boxes.
The chain is ‘temporarily’ scrapping the iconic red colour and launching a blank box as part of a mental health awareness campaign with BBC Children In Need.
The white ‘draw how you feel meal boxes’ are intended to help children express their emotions and unleash their creativity.
Millions of the boxes and crayons will be available nationwide in McDonald’s from November 5 until November 18.
And Chick-fil-A returned to England, six years after major controversy.
The American fast food joint set up shop in Reading in 2019, but just six months after the restaurant opened, it was shuttered.
The closure followed major customer backlash over the controversial views on same-sex marriage held by Chick-fil-A’s chairman as well as donations that had been made by the founder’s charitable foundation to anti-LGBT groups.
But now it’s trying to crack the UK again, with two service station sites launched in Belfast in early 2025 and a new restaurant opening in Leeds on October 23.
