Astro Doughnuts Celebrates ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 with Themed Treats

This set of doughnuts is perfectly on-theme for the upcoming release.

The fifth and final season of the popular Netflix show Stranger Things drops on November 26. And one NoVA-area business is ready to celebrate.  

Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken has announced that it will offer a special box of Stranger Things–themed doughnuts. The box includes six themed doughnuts, in flavors including:  

  • The Upside Down: a vanilla glazed doughnut with Oreo crumbles and black sanding sugar 
  • Breakfast for Eleven: a maple glazed doughnut with chopped bacon and a mini Eggo waffle 
  • Holly Jolly: a vanilla glazed doughnut with chocolate strings and M&Ms 
  • The Demogorgon: filled with apple and topped with red apple cider glaze, fresh strawberries, white nonpareils, and chocolate buttercream vines with a red buttercream center 

The box is $35 and is available through October 31. Orders must be placed online in advance.  

The fun continues with a Stranger Things–themed Halloween party at 1969, the bar underneath Astro Beer Hall’s Shirlington location. The party is October 31 from 8 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. It will include themed cocktails, retro decor, a photo booth, and a Stranger Things character costume contest.
