Hanukkah card messages
Hanukkah messages for coworkers
Send a brief, warm Hanukkah wish and thank the person for something from the year. For a mixed group, or when you're not sure someone celebrates, a general holiday or New Year card is the better choice.

Make the words yours
Send a Hanukkah card to colleagues you know celebrate it. For a mixed group, a general holiday or New Year card is the better choice.
Keep it simple and work-appropriate: a warm wish and a thank-you for something specific in DETAIL. Skip assumptions about how or with whom they celebrate.
Time it for the holiday itself. Because Hanukkah's dates change each year, check the dates below before you send.
Ways to sign the card
With best wishes for the holiday, NAME
Happy Hanukkah from NAME
From the whole team, NAME
Wishing you bright nights, NAME
Kind regards and happy Hanukkah, NAME

When Hanukkah falls
Hanukkah, also spelled Chanukah, lasts eight nights, with one more candle lit each night.
In 2026, it begins at sundown on Friday, December 4, and ends at nightfall on Saturday, December 12. Because the dates move from year to year, check them before you send.
Use the message in your own card
Copy the wording into a card or a message you send yourself. Replace NAME with your name and DETAIL with the project or team name you want to mention; remove any brackets that remain.
Choose only words you are comfortable sending. This page supplies message ideas, so keep personal names and memories in the card or document you are preparing.
