The holidays are about to get a little stranger.
With the final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things arriving in two highly anticipated installments—Volume 2 on Christmas Day and the series finale on December 31, fans are bracing for one last descent into Hawkins’ eerie, shadowy streets. And let’s be honest: facing Vecna unprepared isn’t an option.
Enter the JanSport x Stranger Things collection, a nostalgic yet fully modern lineup of backpacks, slings, waistpacks, and accessory pouches designed to carry everything you need—whether for everyday life or a sudden trip into the Upside Down. Every piece nods to the show’s 1980s roots: Hellfire Club insignias, Hawkins Post graphics, and retro colorways offer fans a tangible connection to the world that has captivated audiences for half a decade. But these aren’t just collectibles—they’re high-quality JanSport packs built for real life.
We put the Big Student Stranger Things Logo to the test, and it didn’t disappoint. With extra-large capacity, a dedicated 15-inch padded laptop compartment, a water bottle pocket, two main compartments, and ergonomic S-curve shoulder straps, it’s a perfect balance of style and practicality. Whether you’re packing for school, holiday travel, or a late-night mission in Hawkins, this backpack keeps you ready. And yes, it’s crafted from 100% recycled 600-denier polyester, so it’s as durable as it is iconic.
For a headline-worthy vibe, the SuperBreak Plus Hawkins Post edition is equally impressive. Finished in a Hawkins Post-inspired print covered in ominous headlines, eerie snapshots, and clippings that maybe should have stayed buried, this pack is your go-to for every mission that requires a little secrecy. A padded 15-inch laptop sleeve, organizer compartment, and fully padded back panel mean you can stash your gadgets, evidence, or last-minute Eggos without sacrificing comfort or style.
As for fans of the Hellfire Club, the Right Pack Expressions Hellfire Club offers a bold, graphic-forward statement. With its signature 1980s-inspired motifs, it’s perfect for showing off your superfan status while keeping your essentials organized and secure.
And with the final season hitting screens this month, timing couldn’t be more perfect. Volume 2 lands on Christmas Day, followed by the series finale on December 31. With the right pack at your side, you’ll be ready to navigate every twist, friendship, and surprise Hawkins throws your way.
From school halls to holiday getaways, the JanSport x Stranger Things collection merges fandom with function. The line also includes other backpacks, waistpacks, slings, and accessory pouches, each offering the same careful blend of design, utility, and nostalgia. It’s more than merch—it’s a statement: part collectible, part everyday essential, and all Stranger Things.
Don’t wait. Styles are moving fast, and with the final season arriving this month, now is the moment to claim your pack before it disappears into the Upside Down forever.
