It’s time to gather your family and break out the menorah, because Hanukkah is here.

You may also get to enjoy some fried food like latkes and jelly donuts, while spinning the dreidel for some chocolate gelt. As you reflect on all the things you’re grateful for this holiday season, you’ll be extra happy to have some of the best Hanukkah quotes from TV shows on hand. After all, you never know when you’ll need a good Instagram caption to pair with all the cute selfies you snap with your fam this time of year.

You’d just love a little more Hanukkah representation here and there, that’s all.
