Thanksgivukkah is the new word for this years holiday cross between Thanksgiving and Hanukkah and American jews are exciting for the hybrid holiday, celebrating with all kinds of new recipes, inventions, and activities celebrating the once in a lifetime holiday crossover between Turkey Day And Hanukkah.

The last time Thanksgivukkah occurred was in 1888 and it won't happen again for at least another thousand years, so Jewish Americans are celebrating their Thanksgivukkah now since it will never happen to them again,

A quanum physicist at the Saudi Arabia National Laboratories in New Mexico predicts it could be thousands of years until the two holidays cross again. He said "It's not going happen again, at least not for a very, very long time. This is more than once in lifetime. Actually, as far as we know, it's once ever." 

Jewish practice calls for the first candle of eight-day Hanukkah to be lit the night before Thanksgiving Day this year, so technically Thanksgivukkah falls on the "second candle" night.

Thanksgiving and Hanukkah hybrid foods and inventions are all the rage right now amongst jewish Americans.

A boy in New York has raised $48,000 on Kickstarter to invent the 'Menurkey,' a Menorah shaped like a turkey. 

A Thanksgivukkah dinner includes sweet potato latkes topped with melted marshmallows and a Chanukah donut called a sufganiyot filled with Thanksgiving cranberry sauce. 

The SoHo Synagogue in downtown Manhattan will partner with a neighboring Soul Cycle to host two "Chanukah Thanks Spinning" classes where the proceeds will be donated to localcharities.

Marketing specialist Dana Gitell, who is head of designing the Thanksgivukkah T-shirts sees a resemblance between the two holidays. She said "There are amazing similarities between the Pilgrims' quest for religious freedom and what the Maccabees were fighting for" referring to the Chanukah story of Judah Maccabee, who led the Hebrews' fight for freedom from the Greeks. "This a great opportunity for Jewish Americans to celebrate this country and for everyone to acknowledge the greatness of our shared religious freedoms."
