This delightfully irreverent, amusingly illustrated, and endlessly entertaining guide walks you through the joys—and the oys—of celebrating Chrismukkah, the quintessential hybrid holiday.

Christmas meets Hanukkah for millions of mixed-faith families—and it's a celebration all its own!

Navigate the December dilemma with style as you explore the history, lore, and events of this modern tradition. You'll learn how to successfully blend customs, including:

  • Decorating: From Stars of David ornaments on the Christmas tree to a variety of innovative menorah options.
  • Feasting: Rollicking recipes for festive hybrid fare like Latkes with Sugar Plum Fairy Sauce, Blitzen's Blintzes, and General Saul's Chicken.
  • Partying: Hilarious directions for mixing holiday happy hour drinks like a Yule Plotz, Meshugga Nog, and Manishewitz Mulled Wine.
  • Lore & Gifts: Tips for innovative tchotchkes, cards, and how to handle interfaith gift-giving for everyone, including the family pet.

Whether you're a mixed-faith couple or just love an excuse to celebrate, this handy (and often hilarious) guide has everything you need to deck your halls, spin your dreidels, and light up the season with true Chrismukkah cheer!

A veritable cornucopia of seasonal delights, this handy (and often hilarious) lifestyle guide walks us through all the Chrismukkah events, history, and lore. You'll learn about hybrid holiday traditions in decorating (ornaments, wreaths, menorahs, dreidels); innovative tchotchkes (Chrismukkah cards, stockings, lights); and a plethora of menorah options (Godzilla or snowman, anyone?).

Rounding out the mix are chapters on snazzy holiday hats and caps, interfaith dog and cat gift suggestions, and office-party dos and don'ts. It's beginning to look a lot like Chrismukkah, and now we'll all be ready to celebrate with style!
