You Can Now Get 'Friends' Monopoly - Could There Be A Better Christmas Present?

All your last-minute Christmas shopping problems are solved, guys, because you can now get Friends Monopoly. Who doesn't like Friends? And who doesn't like having a fist fight with their relatives on Christmas Day over a board game? See, you're sorted.

The board game based on the popular TV show allows you to play as your favourite character, with themed-pieces such as a dinosaur, for Ross fans; a Chandler Bing-style sweater vest and a chef's hat for Monica.

The board features popular locations from the show, as well as favourite moments, such as 'The Routine' and 'Holiday Armadillo'. Imagine cracking this open Christmas Day when you're half a litre of Bailey's deep? Perfect.

You can pick up the set from a bunch of shops in the UK, with prices starting at around £25. It's already been selling out in some places, so don't hang around if you're keen.

You can also show off your superior Friends knowledge with a special edition Trivial Pursuit. Act out your very own version of The One with the Embryos, which resulted in the fellas switching apartments with Monica and Rachel, by getting too competitive answering questions related to the lives of the characters. It's what Monica would want.

Monopoly

It's the ideal way to celebrate the fact that Netflix isn't taking the hit sitcom away after the streaming service confirmed the show was staying put next year. Netflix forked out a reported $100m (£78m) to keep the rights to stream the show in the US in 2019.

Fans in the US were left reeling when it was revealed they could only binge-watch their favourite show until the New Year - despite that fact we've all seen them at least 10 times.

Seemingly sensing the massive backlash, which saw some pissed-off fans threatening to cancel their subscriptions, Netflix did a big u-turn (you could even say they 'pivoted' - sorry) and tweeted to say it wasn't going anywhere:

Naturally, fans of the show reacted with joy to the announcement and praised Netflix for the decision.

A Christmas miracle.
