The Beatles haven’t released an album or even been an active band for more than 50 years now, but Beatlemania seems to be more alive than ever with movies inspired by the iconic rock outfit as well as Peter Jackson’s landmark Disney+ streaming docuseries The Beatles: Get Back.
That being said, there’s a good chance there is a massive fan of the “Fab Four” in your life, someone who would be more than a little appreciative if just one of the best Beatles gifts listed below ended up in a stocking or under your tree this holiday season. Please believe me, there’s a lot to choose from on this long and winding road of merchandise…
The Beatles: Get Back Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray
In November 2021, Peter Jackson’s three-night streaming event The Beatles: Get Back made its long-awaited debut and welcomed longtime fans of the band into one of the group’s most tense and creative periods: the 1969 sessions that would eventually lead to not one, but two iconic albums: Let It Be and Abbey Road. The eye-opening experience, which included hours of restored footage and audio, made audiences feel like a fly on the wall as the “Fab Four” workshopped what would be some of their most well-known songs.
Released in 2022, The Beatles: Get Back collector’s edition Blu-ray includes each episode of the three-part event on a separate disc along with printed pictures of each member of the band. There aren’t any special features, but this is perfect for fans of the band who don’t have a Disney+ subscription.
Buy The Beatles: Get Back Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray at The Beatles’ Official Store.
The Beatles: Get Back Hardcover Book
In addition to being turned into a three-night streaming event on Disney+ and physical release, The Beatles: Get Back has also received a printed counterpart that dives into the creation of the group’s final studio album Let It Be. This 240-page hardcover book, published by Callaway Arts and Entertainment, comes loaded with hundreds of never-before-seen photographs, writings, and other notes from the 21-day recording session that resulted in some of the most consequential songs of all time. This book is perfect for anyone who wants a nice companion piece for the groundbreaking Peter Jackson film.

The Beatles Revolver: Special Edition Vinyl Box Set
Often considered one of the best additions to The Beatles’ catalog and one of the most transformative albums of all time, 1966’s Revolver marked a turning point for the band as it was the final release before they retired from live performances. More than 55 years after its initial release, the beloved album got a major facelift in the form of Revolver: Special Edition, which includes a new mixing, outtakes, and alternate versions on four 12-inch LPs and one 7-inch EP, and a collection of bonus material exclusive to the release.
The vinyl box set is perfect for die-hard fans of the band, but it does come with a hefty price (just under $200). Fear not, as there is also a CD version available that features all the same material printed onto 5 discs.

The Beatles Revolver Framed Poster
Not only was Revolver a major transitional point for The Beatles’ music, it also marked the beginning of more expressive and unique artwork for the band. The band’s official online store, in honor of the new special editions of the classic album, has released new prints of art from the album’s release as well as images inspired by it.
This is best seen in the framed poster that is currently available in the webstore that features the four members of the band in an expressive style of art that looks very similar to that of the original album cover. This would go nicely in a home office or den where you and the die-hard Beatles fan in your life likes to enjoy winding down and listening to music.
