A royal family from the Latino Jewish kingdom of Galonia is shipwrecked off the coast of Avalor on their way home to celebrate Hanukkah, so Elena invites them to the palace to celebrate their cherished holiday and learn about their traditions.
- An Aesop: It doesn't matter how you celebrate the holidays as long as you make the most of what you have and celebrate it with the people you love.
- Art Shift/Disney Acid Sequence: The environment switches to 2D drawings during "This Hanukkah Night".
- Call-Back:
- Isabel is working on making a sealing machine so that Elena can get through royal paperwork quicker.
- Elena and Rebeca get the chocolate for the gelts at Luisa's family's old chocolate shop.
- Like back in "Navidad" during "The Way We Do Navidad" musical sequence, there's an Art Shift during Rebeca's song about how they celebrate Hanukkah.
- The Cameo: A man and a woman appear with Ari and Bubbe when Rebeca sings that her family is relying on her for a perfect Hanukkah, so presumably they're her parents.
- Chekhov's Gun: Isabel's broken seal machine from the beginning is used to make the gelt coins faster.
- Disaster Dominoes: The perfect dreidel that Rebeca finds ends up wrecking the dinner table, with the last "domino" being the hanukkiah.
- Hanukkah Episode: The episode centers around Hanukkah, with Elena and her family learning about the traditions of Hanukkah.
- Jesus Taboo: Zigzagged. Rebeca, Ari, and Miriam briefly explain Hanukkah and the historic struggles of "their" people without explicitly referencing their religion (at the very least, the origin of the hanukkiah is told — the light lasting for eight nights instead of one was a "miracle" according to Ari), but out-of-universe material clearly states that they're Jewish.
- The Perfectionist: Rebeca insists on everything being just as her family celebrates Hanukkah for the sake of her bubbe. When things go awry, Miriam tells her that it's okay to celebrate Hanukkah differently this year.
- Subtext: Since this is a show aimed towards younger audiences, there are references to the historic struggles of the Jewish people and the origins of Hanukkah, but nothing too explicit.
- Truth in Television:
- Latino Jewish groups
exist in real life. - The Galonians observe both Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jewish traditions, which isn't unrealistic since both groups make up the said Latino Jewish population.
- Latino Jewish groups
- The Voiceless: Migs and Armando make brief appearances but don't speak.
