Stranger Things, the Netflix TV show, has taken the world by storm with its perfect blend of ’80s nostalgia, sci-fi thrills, and lovable characters. And what better way to celebrate your love for the hit show than with a Stranger Things-themed birthday party? From String lights galore to Demogorgon dogs, we’ve got all the groovy party ideas you need to transport your guests to the mysterious town of Hawkins, Indiana!
What food should you serve at a Stranger Things birthday party?
It would not be a Stranger things party without Eggo Waffles. But wait, we can’t forget the toppings! Try throwing some ice cream or sweet treats on top of your waffles to get that perfect taste explosion in your mouth. Also, keep some maple syrup, whipped cream, and berries nearby. It is a must-have for any Stranger Things party, as Eleven’s love for Eggo waffles is a running theme throughout the series.
Popcorn is a classic snack easily customized to fit the Stranger Things theme. You can serve it in bags Stranger Things Themed goodie bags on them or add some red food coloring to make it look like it’s been contaminated by the Upside Down. You can also make a snack table filler will all types of nostalgic 80’s candy and snacks. And don’t forget Dustin’s chocolate pudding!
What do you get when you slipt the end in of your hotdog? A Demogorgon head! These hot dogs are a nod to the fearsome creature from Upside Down. Slit the lot of your hotdogs, wrap hot dogs in crescent roll dough, and bake until golden brown.
Everyone loves an upside-down cake. However, this classic dessert can be given a Stranger Things twist with an upside-down blackberry cake. The black and blood-red color the blackberries create when cooked will give off the perfect vibes for your party.
If this is an adult Stranger things party, you will need cocktails, and if this one doesn’t fit the bill, I don’t know what will. This Maple 43 Cocktail takes bourbon and maple (a great combo) and adds a waffle on top! Not into whiskey? Then check out this fruity Upside Down Blackberry Cocktail.
In honor of Barb, who met an unfortunate end in the first season, serve up some chips and dip. We found a great recipe inspired by the show. Don’t forget to stack loads of cans of Coca-Cola on the table next to it for a truly 80’s feel.
In the first season, Joyce uses Christmas lights to communicate with her son Will. Serve up some alphabet soup as a nod to this memorable scene. We agree soup might seem like an odd thing to serve at a party, but any Strager things fan will disagree! This is the best recipe we found.
For a playful touch, serve up snacks like pretzels and trail mix in small paper bags labeled D&D Snacks. And these Dungen and Dragons dice candy tins will be a big hit. Great to throw in goodie bags as well.
Chocolate-covered strawberries have never looked so evil! Not only are these SO cool, but they are also delicious too. They are super easy to make with very few ingredients. You can find the step-by-step guide on how to make these here.
