Move over, . The search for the ultimate Hanukkah video is over — Amy Schumer wins hands down.

The Jewish comedian shared a childhood video of her singing “Happy Hanukkah” on her Instagram page and if you haven’t seen it, you need to stop whatever non-essential task you’re doing. In addition to being ADORABLE, Schumer shows off some major tambourine skills. And that clapping? Say what you will, that girl’s got holiday rhythm.

Happy Hanukkah!

Happy Hanukkah from me! #tbs
