Netflix has elevated its holiday offerings with three captivating new fireplace experiences that bring beloved franchise atmospheres directly to viewers’ screens. The streaming giant has introduced themed fireplaces for Stranger Things, Wednesday, and KPop Demon Hunters, each meticulously crafted to immerse audiences in their respective fictional universes while providing cozy holiday ambiance.
These aren’t ordinary digital fireplaces – each one-hour experience is packed with intricate details, atmospheric soundscapes, and surprising interactive elements that transform a simple fireplace into an engaging entertainment experience.
Stranger Things: A Trip Back to Hawkins
The Stranger Things fireplace transports viewers directly into the iconic Byers’ living room from the show’s inaugural season. The authentic recreation features the memorable alphabet painted across the wall, with twinkling lights suspended above a crackling fireplace. The experience begins with the haunting Stranger Things theme song and showcases the new season 5 Netflix logo.
True to the show’s supernatural essence, the fireplace includes carefully timed supernatural events. A Dungeons and Dragons game sits prominently on the central table, while various show memorabilia populate the room. The real magic happens around the 20-minute mark when the lights begin their ominous flashing sequence, eventually spelling out “RUN” – a clear warning of impending danger.
The experience crescendos with the terrifying arrival of a Demogorgon, complete with its characteristic otherworldly sounds. The entire room dramatically flips to mirror the show’s sinister Upside Down dimension, accompanied by the series’ signature chilling audio cues. As the official description promises: “Gather ’round the fireplace in Hawkins, where the flames crackle, the alphabet glows — and the holidays get turned Upside Down.”
Wednesday: Gothic Elegance Meets Holiday Spirit
Wednesday Addams fans receive their own darkly enchanting fireplace experience, set within Principal Weems’ distinctive office at Nevermore Academy. The centerpiece fireplace, dramatically housed within a Medusa head sculpture, perfectly captures the show’s gothic aesthetic.
The experience launches with Wednesday’s signature theme song and Netflix branding, but the real star is Thing – the disembodied hand who ignites the fireplace with theatrical flair. The supernatural elements intensify around the 20-minute mark with dramatic lightning, rolling thunder, and mysterious smoke that fills the atmospheric space. The fire transforms into an otherworldly purple flame before returning to normal, with Thing making a final appearance to extinguish the flames.
KPop Demon Hunters: Musical Magic
The newest addition celebrates Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters with a fireplace experience that emphasizes the franchise’s musical elements. According to Netflix’s description: “Watch Gwi-Ma’s flames rise and fall as a golden soundtrack burns bright. When darkness meets the light, this is what it sounds like.”
This fireplace features orchestral arrangements from the movie soundtrack, building anticipation until the 23-minute mark when Huntrix’s vocals join the musical arrangement. The visual experience synchronizes with the music, intensifying the flames during dramatic musical crescendos. For those seeking a more interactive experience, Netflix offers separate sing-along versions and music compilations.
A Growing Collection
Netflix confirms these three themed fireplaces join their permanent streaming library, allowing year-round access beyond the holiday season. Each approximately hour-long experience is available in 4K resolution across all Netflix-supported devices.
The new additions expand Netflix’s impressive fireplace collection, which already includes franchise-themed options like Bridgerton, The Witcher, Squid Game, Spellbound, and Family Pack fireplaces. Traditional options remain available, including the Classic Crackling Fireplace, Rustic Cabin Fireplace, Mid-Century Modern Fireplace, White Christmas Fireplace, and the popular Crackling Birchwood Fireplace.
This creative approach demonstrates Netflix’s commitment to providing immersive entertainment experiences that extend beyond traditional viewing, transforming passive content consumption into interactive atmospheric experiences that celebrate their most popular franchises while delivering practical holiday ambiance for subscribers worldwide.
