A Christmas Story Live added a welcome bit of inclusivity from the classic movie with a big, jazzy Hanukkah number, and it became the biggest hit of the night! In the biggest divergence from the 1983 Christmas classic, Fox's live musical adaptation threw in a whole number for the side character of Raphie's friend's mom, Mrs. Schwartz, and Ana Gasteyer completely destroyed it. Viewers were quick to note that Ana Gasteyer's Hanukkah song in A Christmas Story Live was the standout moment in the show.
Ana Gasteyer's breakout Hanukkah number was the most surprising and arguable most exciting part of the entire three-hour A Christmas Story Live special. All of the other songs in the live musical event were based on the 2009 Broadway show A Christmas Story: The Musical (written by Pasek & Paul, the buzzy team behind recent smashes La La Land and Dear Evan Hansen), but the Hanukkah number was not in that original musical. Instead, Ana Gasteyer's big song, "Market for a Miracle," was written recently, especially to be included in the Fox special. It is also a welcome injection of some Hanukkah joy into what was once an exclusively Christmas-themed story.
