Is stoicism and existentialism a view that can coexist?

So I tend to follow stoicism as a personal philosophy but see existentialism a meta- philosophy that makes sense to me. I try to live my life by stoic virtues but also tend to view life as having no explicit or implicit meaning. Are these two views able to live in the same realm or are there some of these philosophies that are at odds with each other and thus, me holding hypocritical views?

I’m no expert in either, but historically, the Stoics seemed to have been strong believers in determinism and fate, while existentialists like Kierkegaard and Sartre emphasized freedom as an essential component of humanity. Wonder if that leads to a conflict?
