The Upside Down has infiltrated McDonald's.

To celebrate the release of the animated series Stranger Things: Tales from '85, Netflix teamed up with McDonald's to create a themed Happy Meal. Here's what's in it, and when you can get it.

What's in the Stranger Things Happy Meal?

The Stranger Things: Tales from '85 Happy Meal includes several pieces of Stranger Things swag. Each meal comes with a custom Happy Meal box covered in artwork of the mutating Upside Down vines that wreak havoc in the series. Inside, fans will find a Stranger Things activity book and one of 12 collectible character toys. Promotional art for the collaboration reveals six of the toys: Stranger Things mainstays Lucas, Mike, Eleven, Dustin, Max, and Will. The other six options haven't been released yet, although they could range from Tales from '85 newcomer Nikki Baxter to figurines of the monsters the squad faces.

The Happy Meal also comes with a QR code that unlocks a game that brings fans into the fight to save the town of Hawkins, Indiana. Through this digital experience, they can help protect the town and McDonald's from a new horde of Upside Down monsters.

When can you get the Stranger Things Happy Meal?

The Stranger Things: Tales from '85 Happy Meal is rolling out globally starting Apr. 28 in Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, Peru, and Slovenia.

The Happy Meal hits the United States on May 5, and is available for a limited time while supplies last. For a full list of rollout dates and participating countries, visit the Netflix website.
