Trivia
This is the only Barney Hanukkah special made. Hanukkah would be mentioned in Barney's Christmas Star and Gift of the Dinos.

This special was filmed in late 1993/early 1994.

The special was planned for an earlier released but was delayed until the end of 1994 because of the lawsuit for the song I Love You.

A brand new rendition of I Love You which would later be heard in Season 3 is used for the first time.

This is the first appearences of David, Heather, Christine and Kevin.

David, Christine and Heather would return in Barney's Imaginary Adventures while Kevin would become a Barney and Friends cast member in Season 3 and stay with Barney until the end of the show's run.

The set for this special which is a giant house would later be used in Barney's Imaginary Adventures and would also be refurbished into Barney's Clubhouse for the personalized home video My Party with Barney.

Barney doesn't turn into a doll at the end. Instead Barney and the gang sing a reprise of Miracles Aren't Just Magic and the song ends with the gang hugging Barney and after a shot on Barney's face and a laugh the screen fades to black.

In the Spanish version of this video released in 1997, an early version of the season 4 I Love You is used.

In the UK this video was released with a bonus Barney episode "Shopping For a Surprise" in 1996.

Barney coming to life after being tempted tempted by a peanut butter sandwich would later be used in Let's Play School!

This custom special is based on an actual Hanukkah special with the same name but instead of the puppet KJ, it's Barney the Dinosaur.
