Stop everything: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco just made Hanukkah the holiday of the season! The dynamic duo—also known as your new favorite couple—were caught spreading major festive vibes at Jake Cohen’s holiday bash in New York City on Christmas Day (yes, December 25th is a vibe for the lonely Jewish crew).
Jake Cohen, aka the Jake of Jake Makes It Easy, shared the holiday joy on Instagram with the caption: “Some lonely Jews on Christmas getting lit. 🕎” And oh, did they get lit. The snaps featured Selena looking cozier than a Hallmark movie in a fluffy set, and Benny just existing as the ultimate Jewish boyfriend goals. (BTW, in case you were wondering, Benny’s Jewish credentials check out.)
This wasn’t your average Hanukkah soirée, though. Other A-list guests like Debra “Messing with the Best” Messing, comedian Alex Edelman, and Brandon Flynn showed up, proving that this party had more star power than a menorah fully loaded with candles.
But the chef’s kiss moment? Benny dancing the hora like his ancestors were cheering him on from the beyond. (Seriously, Slide 3 is a must-watch—his moves might be the eighth wonder of the Hanukkah world.)
Moral of the story: Selena and Benny didn’t just attend a Hanukkah party—they turned it into a cultural reset. The Festival of Lights has officially been rebranded as the Festival of Fire Insta Posts. 🕎✨
