The 9 Greatest Hanukkah References in Pop Culture

Hanukkah references are hard to come by. The holiday doesn't have a rosy-cheeked mascot to sit in malls and appear on Coke bottles all winter. There aren't too many Hanukkah songs available in our musical zeitgeist (aside from "I Have a Little Dreidel," of course). The Festival of Lights doesn't infiltrate the world of entertainment nearly as much as Christmas does, but that in no way detracts from its importance and meaning. In fact, it just makes the rare Hanukkah pop culture references even MORE memorable! The start of Hanukkah is just a few days away, so we've rounded up the 9 best holiday-themed moments from movies, television, and music to help get you in the seasonal spirit. From Maccabee Rugrats to holiday armadillos, one thing's for sure - it's so much fun-akkah to celebrate Hanukkah! -By Caitlin Morton
