McDonald’s is going Upside Down with the limited release of a “Stranger Things” Happy Meal in May.
The promotion ties in with Netflix’s launch of “Stranger Things: Tales from ’85,” a new animated series set in the same world.
According to Netflix, the Happy Meal will feature “Stranger Things” toys, retro-style packaging and interactive elements inspired by the show’s 1980s setting as part of a crossover aimed at longtime fans and well as younger audiences.
Here is what to know about the Stranger Things Happy Meal.
When does Stranger Things Happy Meal come out?
The “Stranger Things” Happy Meal is set to roll out at McDonald’s locations nationwide starting May 5, according to Netflix.
What Happy Meal toys are included?
Netflix says the promotion will feature “Stranger Things”-themed toys and retro-style packaging inspired by the franchise’s 1980s aesthetic, though exact collectible character toys vary by market.
In addition to themed toys, Netflix says the promotion includes a custom “Stranger Things” Happy Meal toy box and an activity book with puzzles, and a QR code that unlocks a digital experience and interactive game, tied to the franchise’s retro aesthetic.
Where to find the Strangers Things Happy Meal
