Many holidays are fake holidays when you get down to it. I don't celebrate it myself but I don't know why Kwanzaa gets singled out for jokes, oh wait I do.

Decorated my house, ate some fruit, shared some libations, brought out the kinara and lit some candles. It was a good time.

I mean if you don't live some where with a large black community then it's likely you'll never encounter it.

here in Little Rock it's a lot bigger than hanukkah

Isn't it more of an African thing? The black kids in your class were American I'm taking it.

Juneteenth is certainly much, much bigger than Kwanzaa in terms of how many people celebrate it. Even though it's less mainstream in terms of, idk, cultural notoriety? Seems like everyone knows of Kwanzaa at least.
