In the multi-denominational special episode titled “Traditions,” when Tommy’s first Chanukah falls on Christmas Eve, the Pickles family must juggle their family traditions to make sure each feels important, while also celebrating Las Posadas with Betty and her family. The episode features guest stars Raini Rodriguez as Gabi, Swoosie Kurtz as Minka, Henry Winkler as Boris, and Tata Vega as Tia Esperanza.
The episode aims to explain the various ways the holidays are celebrated and explore how families from different cultures come together to create their own new and unique traditions. Rugrats “Traditions” was written by executive producers Kate Boutilier and Eryk Casemiro. Lalo Alcaraz (The Casagrandes) served as a research consultant, and co-producer Rachel Lipman (Rugrats) served as a cultural advisor.
