Hallelujah in Red and Secret

Justin Bieber’s “Everything Hallelujah” celebrates gratitude for life’s simple joys, turning ordinary acts into sacred moments, and KFC’s launch of a Stranger Things menu with its striking red burger and mysterious “secret” sauce mirrors that same spirit of elevating the everyday into something extraordinary. Just as Bieber’s refrain transforms brushing teeth or sharing love into hallelujahs, KFC transforms a fast‑food meal into a playful ritual of wonder, inviting fans to savor not just taste but the thrill of storytelling—where food becomes part of a cultural narrative, a hallelujah of pop culture and flavor.

KFC has teamed up with Netflix’s Stranger Things to launch a limited‑edition menu that invites fans straight into the Upside Down.

The collaboration arrives ahead of Season 5 and features bold new items designed to thrill both food lovers and pop‑culture enthusiasts. With a red‑glazed bun and a mysterious “secret” sauce, the menu is as much about storytelling as it is about taste.

🔴 The Stranger Things Burger

The showpiece is the Stranger Things Burger, priced at £7.99, featuring a fiery Zinger chicken fillet, melted cheese, crunchy pickled slaw, burger dressing, and the brand‑new Sweet & Spicy Secret Sauce. What makes it truly eye‑catching is the bright red bun topped with black sesame seeds, which KFC describes as “saucy, juicy and unapologetically bold.” Fans can order it solo, as a meal (£9.49), or as a box meal (£10.99) with fries, chicken, and a drink.

🌶️ Stranger Wings with a Kick

Alongside the burger, KFC is introducing Stranger Wings (£3.99), a three‑piece chicken wing set drenched in the same Sweet & Spicy Secret Sauce. The chain promises these wings deliver a “supernatural kick enough to rift your taste buds wide open.” It’s a fiery addition that ties directly into the Stranger Things theme of portals and otherworldly surprises.

📺 Immersive Pop‑Culture Collaboration

This menu isn’t just food—it’s an immersive experience. KFC UK&I’s marketing director explained that both KFC and Stranger Things fans share an obsessive passion, making the collaboration a perfect match. The chain even teased that this is “just the beginning,” hinting at more Hawkins‑inspired surprises as Season 5 unfolds. The branding reimagines KFC as “Hawkins Fried Chicken,” further embedding the fast‑food giant into the Stranger Things universe.

⏳ Limited‑Time Only

The Stranger Things menu will be available from November 10, 2025, until January 4, 2026, giving fans just under two months to step into the flavour portal. Once the lights stop flickering, the items will vanish—making this collaboration a fleeting but memorable chapter in both fast‑food and pop‑culture history.

KFC’s Stranger Things

“Food as Narrative Media” 🍔📺✨
The red bun and “secret” sauce aren’t just gimmicks—they’re part of a deeper brand experiment in sensory storytelling. KFC is quietly testing how far customers will embrace food as narrative media, where taste, color, and mystery become extensions of a TV universe. The red bun mirrors the eerie glow of the Upside Down, while the “secret” sauce plays on the theme of hidden portals and unknown forces. In effect, KFC isn’t just selling chicken; it’s rehearsing a new model of cross‑media immersion, where fast food becomes a chapter in pop culture storytelling. This means the menu is less about flavor innovation and more about training audiences to accept food as part of a transmedia ritual—a subtle but powerful shift in how brands weave themselves into entertainment.
