What is the name of the Rugrats Hanukkah special? The answer is “A Rugrats Chanukah.”

The episode premiered on Nickelodeon on December 4, 1996, as the first episode of Rugrats’ fourth season and the 66th episode overall. Its opening title card uses the shorter title “Chanukah,” but the established episode title is “A Rugrats Chanukah,” making the stored answer the canonical quiz answer.

The story combines family comedy with the history of Hanukkah. Grandma Minka begins explaining the holiday, while the babies imagine themselves as Jewish rebels fighting the forces of the Greek king. In the parallel adult plot, Grandpa Boris quarrels with his old rival Shlomo over their roles in a synagogue Chanukah play.

The special was unusual for American children’s television at the time, when holiday programming was dominated by Christmas stories. It followed the success of “A Rugrats Passover,” which had originally emerged from Nickelodeon’s request for a Hanukkah-themed episode. The two specials made Rugrats especially notable for its Jewish family and holiday storytelling.
