      ADD TRIVIA
      • Just when Angelica and the babies were reaching toward the janitor's TV next to the Synagogue day care center, the same scream Angelica made after she rode off with Susie's tricycle in "Tricycle Thief" can be heard when she was off balance. Edit
      • The "menorah" that Schlomo puts the oil on is a "Hanukkiah". The difference between the two is that a menorah is a 7-branch candle holder (the one in the temple scenes is a menorah), and a hanukkiah is a a 9-branch candle holder. Edit

    • Notes

      ADD NOTES
      • This is the first episode not to use the regular title card. Instead, in this episode, there is a blue "Chanukah" in a black background with sacred music. Edit
      • "Chanukah" is the first of the new episodes of Rugrats, made after the original Rugrats show ended production in 1994 with the "Passover" episode airing as the last. Episodes after "Passover" are made by Nick. Edit
      • According to the Unoffical Rugrats Online, when Stu and Grandpa end up being in the holiday parade, "Let It Snow" originally played in the background. In 1999, they changed the background music to "Deck The Halls" due to rights issues with the original music. Edit

      • (Grandpa and Stu are on their way to the Synagogue) Stu: This traffic is just awful! (Grandpa sighs; the camera then zooms out, to reveal that he and Stu are in the middle of a Christmas parade--with a giant Menorah (For the play at the Synagogue) on top of the car) Edit
      • Angelica: Chanukah is the special time of year between Christmas and Misgiving (Thanksgiving) when all the bestest holiday shows are on TV. Edit
      • Phil: Hail, Lillian! Lil: Hail, Philistine! Edit
