2025 Will Have a KPop Demon Hunters Hanukkah

Hanukkah begins at sundown on Sunday, December 14th, and runs through sundown on Monday the 22nd. Every year, we get a new crop of Hanukkah songs that are set to the tunes of pop songs we all know. Some of the groups have been doing this so long they have used up all their favorites, and therefore go with whatever the big pop culture thing of the year was, which means they can end up doing the same thing. It happened in 2016, when both the Maccabeats and Six13 did songs from Hamilton, and again in 2024 when they both did songs from Wicked. It has happened again this year. Above you have Six13 presenting a medley they call Golden: A KPop Demon Hunters Chanukah. Below is the new Hanukkah medley from the Maccabeats called HanuKpop Demon Hunters. 



Both feature tunes from the movie KPop Demon Hunters, both feature clever lyrics that reflect the story of Hanukkah, but the Maccabeats went so far as to animate theirs. Is that a good thing? I don't know; I haven't seen the movie.
