A Hawkins Holiday Story
Christmas in Hawkins is never ordinary.
The lights flicker a little longer. The snow falls a little heavier.
And somewhere between the quiet hum of the radio and the glow of mismatched Christmas lights, the Upside Down always feels…closer.
But this year, something changed.
Because Christmas didn’t arrive with fear — it arrived with food.
And not just any food.
It arrived with Fast Bagel in the Upside Down.
❄️ A Christmas Morning, Hawkins Style
The morning started early.
Too early.
Mike was pacing near the window, trying to convince everyone that this Christmas would be calm. Lucas was already guarding the coffee like it was essential equipment. Erica, unimpressed as always, demanded something “actually good” for breakfast.
Joyce just wanted everyone fed.
That’s when the door opened.
In came the boxes — warm, familiar, grounding.
Fast Bagel, somehow perfectly intact, even here.
For a moment, the Upside Down felt quieter.
🥯 A Holiday Spread That Brought Everyone Together
The table filled up fast. Not rushed. Not chaotic. Just… comforting.
There were classic bagel assortments — everything, plain, sesame — because some traditions don’t need changing.
Bowls of cream cheese spreads, both sweet and savory, sat right in the middle like they belonged there.
Steve went straight for a hearty breakfast sandwich, muttering something about “needing fuel.”
Max reached for a cinnamon raisin bagel with honey cream cheese, leaning back like this was the most normal thing in the world.
Dustin insisted on building the perfect combo — a mini bagel, cream cheese, and coffee — calling it “holiday science.”
And Eleven?
She took a quiet bite, smiled slightly, and the lights steadied.
If you ask Hawkins, that’s proof enough.

✨ Why Christmas Feels Different with Fast Bagel in the Upside Down
Because Christmas isn’t about perfection.
It’s about showing up.
It’s about sitting around a table — even an improvised one in a strange place — and sharing something warm. It’s about the pause between the chaos, when everyone finally eats.
That’s what Fast Bagel in the Upside Down became this Christmas:
a reminder that comfort travels, even across dimensions.
Whether it’s a holiday office breakfast, a small team gathering, or a quiet morning before things get loud again, food has a way of grounding us.
And sometimes, that’s all you really need.

🎁 A Christmas Worth Remembering
No portals opened during breakfast.
No alarms went off.
People laughed. They lingered. They stayed a little longer than planned.
And when the last bagel was gone and the coffee cups were empty, Hawkins felt lighter — just for a while.
That’s the magic of Christmas with Fast Bagel in the Upside Down.
Not loud. Not dramatic.
Just warm, human, and shared.
