Stranger Things fans, brace yourselves! You can officially bring a piece of Hawkins, Indiana home with a limited-edition candle collection. With a year-long partnership with Netflix, fragrance company Bath & Body Works has released Stranger Things-inspired candles. Recently, the company has been on a roll with iconic partnerships — from collaborating with Crocs to the Netflix series, Bridgerton. With Stranger Things being at the forefront of the collection, fans will get to time travel to the ’80s with unique candle scents without leaving home. Read on to learn all the details surrounding this newest collaboration and how to shop.
How This Collab Came to Be
This past week, Bath & Body Works has been posting cryptic Instagram posts featuring shots of pancakes and coffee. This left followers wondering what it could possibly be about. Several clues pointed to a potential collaboration with Stranger Things. One post caption read, “Sunday mornings are for coffee and contemplation ☕️.” Meanwhile, the official Stranger Things Instagram page commented, “our friends at B&BW do not tell lies…”

Immediately, fans were quick to notice and draw conclusions that in fact a Bath & Body Works x Stranger Things collaboration was in the works.
On July 17th, Bath & Body Works broke the news that the rumors were *true.* It was confirmed via an Instagram post from the Bath & Body Works page with the caption, “Strange things come to those who wait… Bath & Body Works x Stranger Things has arrived! 🔦 FOUR Limited-Edition 3-Wick Candles dropping tomorrow (7.18) In Stores + Online! *Limited quantities available, so get ‘em before they’re taken!”

Inside the Bath & Body Works x Stranger Things Collab
Four different candles make up the collection with unique iconic scents. First, there’s Eleven’s Waffles, a candle honoring Eleven (played by Millie Bobbie Brown) and her love for Eggo Waffles. Its fragrance notes include frozen waffles, maple syrup, and melted butter (talk about breakfast galore). Next up for any coffee enthusiasts like Hopper, there’s Hopper’s Coffee — made with roasted coffee grounds, tonka bean, and a splash of half and half.

The collection also honors season 4’s symbolic Hawkins’ pizza joint with Argyle’s Pineapple Pizza. This candle will have you craving for pizza with fragrance notes of baked pizza dough, juicy pineapple, and fresh basil.
To round out the collection, there was room left for a dessert-inspired candle. And it’s not just any average candle, Bath & Body Works crafted Steve’s Scoops inspired by the show’s Scoops Ahoy ice cream parlor. It has vanilla ice cream, golden waffle cone, and parlor sprinkles scents.
Where & How To Buy ‘Stranger Things’ Candles
You can shop the entire Stranger Things candle collection on bathandbodyworks.com. The collection is available both online and in-store.
