If you are one of those people who lives for the fall, you’re in luck, because all the snack food companies have been crankin’ out cozy-weather sorts of seasonal products since July. But fall isn’t just PSLs and apple cider and sweet, sweet back-to-school shopping (the best kind of shopping IMO)—it is also spooky season! And because a new season of Stranger Things this way comes (on November 26, to be exact), this year’s fall haul of new snacks includes a slew of Stranger Things-themed eats straight outta the Upside Down. Here’s what’s out and coming soon!
Stranger Things Chips Ahoy!
In August, Chips Ahoy! released pack of their regular chocolate chip cookies with retro packaging that includes a little callout to Stranger Things. Cute. They also launched a brand-new Stranger Things-themed Chewy Chips Ahoy! flavor that combines a chocolate cookie with fudge chips and a red strawberry creme filling. They look cool, but people online have complained about the artificial flavor of the strawberry filling. —Jessica Block

Stranger Things Doritos
Frito-Lay is getting in on the action with Doritos Collisions (their two-flavors-in-one-bag concept) in retro-styled packaging, and the two flavors are classic Cool Ranch and “Stranger Pizza,” which I assume will taste a bit like Nacho Cheese Doritos and pizza-flavored Goldfish had a delicious (and “Stranger”) cheesy chip baby. They’re also releasing Doritos Minis in Spicy Sweet Chili flavor, in a glow-in-the-dark canister, no less. —Jessica Block

Eggo Stranger Things Strawberry Waffles
Eggo is coming out with bright pink strawberry-flavored waffles. I want them with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and mini chocolate chips right the heck now, but unfortunately have to wait until these come out in stores (release date TBD as of now) to give that combo a try. That said, if you love pink things, strawberry things, and/or Stranger Things, keep an eye out for these. —Jessica Block

Stranger Things Fruit Roll-Ups, Fruit by the Foot, and Gushers Minis
Your favorite fruity, chewy lunchbox snacks that DEFINITELY aren’t candy are getting Stranger Things-ified. The Fruit Roll-Ups coming a three-flavor variety pack that features Blue Razzberry, Strawberry Blast, and Tropical Tie-Dye, while the Fruit by the Foot is coming at you in a mystery flavor. The multicolored Gushers Minis are meant to look like the Christmas lights strung up in the Byers’ house. Cute. —Gwynedd Stuart
Strangers Things Hellfire Babybel Cheese
It’s cheese! It comes in a little wax wheel! And it’s VEGAN. Yep, non dairy folks have something fun heading their way in the form of this Hellfire Babybel Cheese, coming soon to the U.S. and the UK. The label says it’s “bold & spicy,” so honestly even people who do eat dairy might want to give this a shot. —Gwynedd Stuart
Totino’s Hellfire Club Pizza Rolls
This is another specifically spicy Stranger Things collab. We tried both flavors—Spicy Pepperoni and Spicy Cheese—when these suckers first hit stores in 2024, and, yes, they’re spicy. There’s lots of red pepper in the mix for heat, but they aren’t that thrilling otherwise. —Gwynedd Stuart
Stranger Things Dig ‘N Dips
Dig ‘N Dips (a product I had not heard of before today, but it is essentially Fun Dip but with a vanilla flavored dipping stick) is doing a Stranger Things special edition pack with both cherry and blue raspberry flavored dipping powders and Stranger Things written on the stick. Iconic. As an adult, I am only lightly embarrassed to say that I LOVE this candy format and also adore blue raspberry, so I may just have to go pick this one up immediately. —Jessica Block
CakeBites Hawkins Lab Confetti Cake Bites
CakeBites is coming out with Hawkins Lab Confetti Cake Bites, which appear to be confetti cake with a blue vanilla frosting layer inside, all coated in chocolate and rainbow sprinkles. The packaging is also Stranger Things themed with Eleven in a Hospital gown reaching out on the front, presumably because the pack contains cake and she wants waffles instead. —Jessica Block
