Hanukkah puns are playful, witty wordplays inspired by the traditions, foods, symbols, and stories of the Jewish Festival of Lights.
From dreidels to latkes, menorahs to gelt, these puns add a spark of humor to the eight nights of celebration.
They’re perfect for greeting cards, social media captions, holiday parties, or just lighting up conversations with clever charm.
Whether you’re a matzo-level pun master or just in it for the “oy” of wordplay, Hanukkah puns bring the festival extra cheer.
