To help get the holiday season into gear, Nickelodeon is releasing a special Blue’s Clues & You! episode to celebrate Chanukah, which begins next Monday (November 29).
Titled “A Blue’s Clues Festival of Lights,” the episode follows host Josh Dela Cruz and Blue who meet a special surprise guest at Periwinkle’s house who comes to celebrate Chanukah, the very joyful festival of lights. Josh and Blue play “Blue’s Clues” to figure out who the surprise guest is, while celebrating the holiday by spinning dreidels, frying latkes, and singing an original Chanukah song.
“A Blue’s Clues Festival of Lights” joins Nickelodeon’s library of holiday episodes, which includes the iconic perennial Rugrats, “A Rugrats Chanukah,” SpongeBob SquarePants “It’s A SpongeBob Christmas!” and PAW Patrol “Pups Save Christmas,” and we spoke with Josh to get the scoop on what we can expect straight from the episode.
“I was talking with my co-workers earlier about how excited I am for the premiere of ‘A Blue’s Clues Festival of Lights,’ and getting the chance to celebrate Chanukah with a special new character singing a special original Chanukah song,” Josh said. “Thinking back to my childhood, I learned about Hanukkah on ‘Rugrats’ for the Rugrats Chanukah special. So I just feel so lucky to be a part of this episode and to do it in such an amazing way.”
