Please help me plan a fun Chanukah theme every day in a different place.
Trying to spice up chanukah as we don't have family here and want to make it exciting!

Israel, Shabbos as it's holy
China, serve Chinese food, fortune cookies
Italy, serve pizza and pasta
Mexico, meat in tortilla

We always play a treasure hunt game, which city can I use for that?

All ideas welcomed!

Such a cute idea!
Treasure hunting can be an American style meal (BBQ?), symbolizing the gold rush.

Belgium- belgian waffles
Switzerland - Chocolate fondue
Great Britain - Fish & Chips
France- Baguette, cheese / french toast
Morroco - Meat/Chiclen stew w/ dried fruits & couscous
Japan - Sushi


I would do a daily treasure hunt- where they figure out the country at the end....
The country is the end, clues should be interesting facts about that country....

Pirates were fairly global. You had Spanish, French, English, etc. more modern day Somali pirates.

Adding on to France, French onion soup, eclairs of croissants for dessert

On second thought, crepes for dessert
