Also known as the Festival of Lights, Hanukkah commemorates the miracle of a small bit of oil lasting eight nights instead of just one. This year, Hanukkah got started on Sunday, Dec. 18 and runs through Monday, Dec. 26. In honor of the season, Detroit-area businesses are taking orders for seasonal Hanukkah treats like sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts), latkes, and challah for the dinner table. To get in on the oily action, here are enough treats to make each night genuinely special.

Eater Detroit will be updating the list regularly, so if there’s something we’ve missed, shoot us an email at detroit@eater.com.
