Hallmark Channel is known for its Christmas movies, but the network has expanded to Hanukkah-themed features as well.<\/p>\n
In 2012, Hitched for the Holidays<\/em> paid homage to several Hanukkah traditions<\/a>, but it wasn\u2019t until 2019 that Hallmark started making at least one Judaism-focused holiday movie for the season.<\/p>\n \u201cI understand that everybody wants to see themselves represented on television, and I did too,\u201d Double Holiday<\/em> writer Nina Weinman<\/strong> told Variety<\/em><\/a> in December 2019 of her combined Hanukkah and Christmas movie. \u201cAnd we\u2019re not going to be able to show the individual ways that every single person celebrates, and so I think that we accomplished showing Hanukkah in a really fun and interesting way.\u201d<\/p>\n Both Double Holiday<\/em> and Holiday Date<\/em> focused on Hanukkah festivities<\/a> in 2019 before Love, Lights, Hanukkah!<\/em> continued the tradition in 2020. The network has since given viewers a closer look at the religious celebration with 2021\u2019s Eight Gifts of Hanukkah<\/em> and 2022\u2019s Hanukkah on Rye<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n
