To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Netflix's Stranger Things series this July, Ferrero's Kinder Joy brand is revealing something new is coming from Hawkins: a limited-edition Kinder Joy x Stranger Things collaboration.

Each Kinder Joy egg holds two distinct halves: one side packed with a creamy, chocolate treat with crispy cocoa-filled wafer bites, and the other concealing one of 24 Stranger Things-themed surprises from Funko, from mini toys to clip accessories. Characters span the full run of the series from heroes Eleven, Max, and Dustin in his Thinking Cap, to the series' villains, including Demogorgons and Vecna rendered in Funko's signature style. Real-world minis sit alongside their Upside Down counterparts, crafted in detail like shimmering iridescent finishes and '80s props such as Dustin's walkie talkie and Max's Walkman.

"Stranger Things has captivated fans across generations with the thrill of not knowing what comes next—and that's exactly what Kinder Joy delivers," says Amber Hansinger, VP of marketing, Kinder Joy USA. "Every egg is a portal to the unknown. Just like stepping into the Upside Down, you never quite know what you'll find on the other side.

Consumers can look for the Kinder Joy x Stranger Things collaboration launching at major U.S. retailers nationwide while supplies last.
