Hanukkah-themed holiday specials are few and far between, so we take what we can get.<\/p>\n

The early-aughts drama \u201cThe O.C.\u201d had a \u201cChrismukkah\u201d episode, \u201cMeet the Fockers\u201d sequel \u201cLittle Fockers\u201d gives Jews a holiday nod and Adam Sandler\u2019s \u201cEight Crazy Nights\u201d has become a staple.<\/p>\n

Now, YouTubers are getting in on the action.<\/p>\n

Tana Mongeau \u2014 known for her bogus marriage to fellow viral star Jake Paul, her recent links to Noah Cyrus and her on-and-off open relationship with Bella Thorne, the Disney star-turned-manic pixie porn director \u2014\u00a0is Hanukkah\u2019s latest observant.<\/p>\n

A holiday special in her MTV series, \u201cNo Filter: Tana Turns 21,\u201d was released on YouTube Monday. It features the blonde bunking in the suburbs with her manager, Jordan Worona, who works out of Mongeau\u2019s pool house on the show, to celebrate Hanukkah with his family in Albany.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Titled \u201cWill Tana Spend Xmas Alone?\u201d, the video currently has about a quarter of a million views, but with any luck none of those tuning in will look to it for Talmudic wisdom or for it to hold any number of candles to Hanukkah specials past.<\/p>\n

A 140-character explanation of the Jewish holiday given by the social media manager\u2019s father isn\u2019t a total bungle. In 20 seconds Worona gets to the Hanukkah miracle of light and even slips in a mention of the Assyrian capture of Jerusalem. This after Mongeau, who claims to have never seen a menorah IRL, asks if she\u2019s allowed to eat gelt.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on her crappy upbringing while clad in matching tie-dye hoodies from her merch line, the 21-year-old Mongeau and Worona have a heart-to-heart in his childhood bedroom at the end of the 24-minute episode. Muses Mongeau, \u201cThe valuable lesson is that holidays are about love, and that\u2019s what I have to try and channel.\u201d Well, sort of.<\/p>\n
