It’s the year of the tie-dye and we are contractually obligated to add a tie-dye sweater to this list. This one says “latkes, sufganiyot & gelt. Happy Hanukkah.” I see no lies here. Bonus shirt: Let’s be frank for a second, a lot of Hanukkah sweaters? They’re bad. I mean, really, really bad. From using non-Hanukkah-related Jewish puns like “ meowzel tov” to some slightly antisemitic stereotypes (“ gelt digger?!”), these terrible sweaters are just super fetishizing and inappropriate. It’s almost like… there’s a non-Jewish person making all of these sweaters? Hmmm… There’s nothing super special about this sweater, which features a simple menorah graphic, but I do love that there is an option to personalize it with your kid’s name. But as a kid, there’s just something nice about having a unique sweater, just for you. Grown-Up Sweaters

People have all kinds of feelings about gnomes, but I absolutely adore them. Here for the Jewish gnomes. year-old me would have some feelings about Hot Topic having a bunch of Hanukkah sweaters, but, ahem, much older me is mostly just a fan of the pineapple menorah in the SpongeBob sweater.I love bagels, and I love bad puns, so I suppose this sweater is made for me? Eating bagels isn’t really a Hanukkah tradition, but I do spread holiday schmear on every Jewish holiday, from Shabbat to Sukkot — but not on Passover, of course. A more affordable and more adorable embroidered option form Monica + Andy who are absolutely killing it with their Hanukkah merch this year. Spreading Holiday Schmear from Tipsy Elves on Modern Tribe (Which Comes in Toddler and Adult Sizes Too) To me, the most exciting thing about Hanukkah — which is coming up on December 8 — is getting to wear my Hanukkah sweaters every day. Hip hop and R&B puns have become a quintessential part of the Hanukkah sweater. “They see me rollin'” just works well, both as a reference to the Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone song, and your excellent sweater and dreidel game!

I keep thinking of “Miracle” by Matishyahu when I see this line but also, how adorable is the menorah on this sweater?? This menorah sweater with reversible sequins on its candles can be tailored for each night of Hanukkah. That’s low key genius, if you ask me. This sweatshirt features a quote from Adam Sandler’s iconic “Hanukkah Song,” (“instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights”) which is also the name of his somewhat ill-advised 2002 Hanukkah film. It’s a simple and lovely little sweater fit for any kid-friendly holiday party. Since there are so few new offerings as far as sweaters this year, I feel like I should include this brand new 2023 Suzy Ultman x Mochi Kids shirt. This Hanukkah print is just perfection. Bonus Dog sweaters: Do your kids love cats? Well, this Hanukkah sweatshirt —which has, quite literally, all the cat puns on it — is perfect for them!

Delightful dreidel designs

What’s better than a new Hanukkah sweater? Turning an old plain sweater into a Hanukkah one, of course! These two kits either allow you to make adorable cat or llama-themed Hanukkah sweaters and honestly, they’re just so friggin’ cute. This is the perfect Hanukkah for a crafting project, and we can’t think of a better one than this! Is this sweater of Adam Sandler wearing a yarmulke a little and quoting a lyric from his iconic Hanukkah song creepy? Yes, yes it is. Do I still kind of want it? Yes, yes I do. A fluffy sweater full of sequins that feels a bit like overkill, which is probably why it’s perfect for any ugly sweater party. Wearing a white hoodie always feels a little risky to me, but this one from Disney is quite cute. They Hanukkah line is truly a delight.
