Frequently Asked Questions
When should I put up Hanukkah decorations?
▼
There’s no official start time, but we like to begin the festivities about a month before night one. Putting up your Hanukkah home decor a few days before the first night works great too. Whatever feels right to you!
What decorations are used for Hanukkah?
▼
Think menorahs (the star of the show), dreidels, gelt, and plenty of classic blue, white, and silver decor (or go rogue with any color of the rainbow!) Add in some festive Hanukkah table decorations, string lights, and maybe some fun Hanukkah-themed cocktail napkins, and you’re ready for the Festival of Lights!

Decorating for Hanukkah can add a festive and joyful atmosphere to your home during the eight-day holiday. Here are some ideas for Hanukkah decorations:

- Hanukkah Candles: Along with the Hanukkah menorah, consider adding other decorative Hanukkah candles throughout your home. You can place them on candlesticks or in decorative candle holders.
- Hanukkah, Wall Hangings, Banners and Garlands: Hang Hanukkah-themed banners or garlands with messages like ""Happy Hanukkah"" or featuring dreidels and menorahs.

- Hanukkah Tablecloth and Linens: Dress up your dining table with a Hanukkah-themed tablecloth, placemats, or napkins.
