, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This October, the CHIPS AHOY!

On Saturday, October 25, just days before Halloween, fans in New York City and Atlanta can get a taste of the Upside Down with a pop-up experience full of retro thrills, exclusive prizes* and a cookie that’s anything but ordinary (while supplies last).
At the heart of the event is the CHIPS AHOY! COOKIE x Stranger Things Claw Machine, but it’s no ordinary arcade game.

To kick off the festivities, the CHIPS AHOY! Brand teamed up with Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, who shared her excitement on Instagram.
“CHIPS AHOY! COOKIES have always been about creating fun, shareable moments,” said Mili Laddha, Senior Marketing Director for the CHIPS AHOY! Brand. “With our partnership with Stranger Things, we wanted to go beyond our limited-edition cookies and create an experience that lets fans interact with us in a meaningful way. These events give consumers the opportunity to step into the world of Stranger Things, engage with the CHIPS AHOY! Brand and feel like part of the action.”
The CHIPS AHOY! COOKIE x Stranger Things Claw Machines will pop up on Saturday, October 25 from 12 – 4 PM ET at Flatiron North Plaza in New York City and The Battery in Atlanta – a great way to get into the eerie spirit and build anticipation for the final season.
