With the final episode of Netflix's hit series Stranger Things set to drop on New Year's Day, fans are rushing to get their hands on official merchandise to mark the occasion. One item, in particular, is flying off the virtual shelves: a cosy fleece blanket available on Amazon.
Fans Snuggle Up with Official Merchandise
Amazon has reported selling more than 2,000 units of the Stranger Things Fleece Blanket in the last month alone. This surge in popularity coincides with the release of the show's fifth and final season, building anticipation for the climactic episode arriving on January 1, 2026 in the UK.
The blanket, priced at £13.99, is described as "so soft" and forms part of the official Stranger Things range. Its design features the core group of friends on their iconic bicycles, with the menacing alternate dimension, the Upside Down, depicted in the background.
Customer Reviews Praise Quality and Value
Holding a 4.4-star rating on Amazon, the product has garnered positive feedback from shoppers. Many highlight its quality and comfort, making it a popular gift choice.
One reviewer said, "My granddaughter loves this blanket. Really good quality and so soft, definitely recommend." Another, named Noel, commented, "Bought as a gift for my daughter. Really pleased with the quality and she loves it."
Further praise came from a customer who stated, "My daughter adores this, it's so soft and comfy and it didn't break the bank!" Faith added it was an "ideal gift for anyone who watches Stranger Things."
Alternative Options and a Note on Thickness
While most reviews are glowing, one shopper named Holly noted the blanket was "a little bit thin for the price," but still acknowledged it as "a great gift for a Stranger Things lover!"
For those seeking a different design, Amazon also offers a Stranger Things Fleece Blanket with a Vecna v Eleven design for £17.99. Shoppers looking for similar plush throws can also find options at other major retailers. Next sells a Plush Fleece Throw from £12, Argos has a Super Soft Fleece Throw for £10, and B&Q offers a Gallery Taupe Teddy Fleece Plain Throw for £8.
As the countdown to the Stranger Things finale begins, this affordable and well-reviewed blanket offers fans a perfect way to stay warm while saying goodbye to Hawkins and its heroes.
