Basic Trope: An episode involving the cast celebrating Hanukkah.

  • Straight: Alice and Bob celebrate Hanukkah in an episode.
  • Exaggerated:
    • There is an 8-episode long Story Arc all about Hanukkah, one episode for each night of the holiday. True to its origins, each episode ups the ante higher than the last.
    • Everyone gets together to celebrate Hanukkah. Even Those Wacky Nazis.
    • The whole show is about celebrating Hanukkah!
  • Downplayed: It's mostly a Christmas Episode, but Charlie gets an important subplot where he celebrates Hanukkah.
  • Justified: The characters are Jewish and don't celebrate Christmas, so they're celebrating Hanukkah instead.
  • Inverted: Even though the characters are established as Jewish, they still celebrate Christmas anyway for whatever reason.
  • Subverted: ???
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: The episode's plot repeatedly goes back and forth as to what winter holiday it's about.
  • Averted: Nobody ever celebrates Hanukkah.
  • Enforced: The creators of the show are Jewish and want to appeal to a Jewish audience.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: Charlie offers to show Alice and Bob how he celebrates Hanukkah.
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Alice and Bob decide to celebrate Christmas or some other generic winter holiday instead to appeal to a higher audience.
  • Discussed: "I'm having a great Hanukkah!"
  • Conversed: ???
  • Implied: Some characters that are Ambiguously Jewish are seen celebrating a holiday similar to Hanukkah.
