Okay, so I feel like this post should come with a big caveat. I am not Jewish, I was not raised Jewish, and I am really not that familiar with Jewish traditions and culture. That said, I married a Jewish man, so now every December Josh and I blend our holidays and celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah. Hence this post on Hanukkah party ideas! 😀
Josh and I love to host parties and are lucky to have friends that do, too. One of our couple friends hosts a Friendsgiving party every year, another a Halloween party. When we first moved to Omaha, we thought it would be fun if we started the tradition of hosting a Hanukkah party. We invite our friends over, cater from Whole Foods, and just have a blast hanging out and spending time together. It has been so much fun and just keeps growing every year. Hanukkah decorations are a lot harder to find than Christmas decorations, so I wanted to put this post together on some of my favorite Hanukkah party decor finds.
We just picked up the table runner from Pier One on Black Friday and I can’t wait to use it for our party!

And what’s a party without games and party favors? We’re going to have a Hanukkah cookie decorating table and then prizes for whoever wins the dreidel game!
Questions of the Day: Have you been to a Hanukkah party before? Do you host an annual party?Â
So sad to be missing this year! I bet everything will be beautiful! And tasty 🙂
lovely thank you!
Such lovely ideas! I grew up celebrating Hanukah with family and Chrismukkah with friends, and the amount of possibility for decorating is endless when you get creative.
Yay, a Chanukah post in a sea of Christmas posts! I am Jewish, so this definitely makes me happy.
I love a cookie decorating station. That would be a great party!
I always tried to convince my parents we needed to celebrate Hanukkah growing up as well…it never worked out for me! haha
That’s awesome that you blend the holidays so that you and your husband can both celebrate your traditions! Great ideas!
Love those hanukkah candles! So pretty!
