Hanukkah is an 8 day holiday. If you are talking about the first night of Hanukkah, then it has happened only four times in the last 100 years: in 1918, 1921, 1959 and 2005.
If you are talking about years that Hanukkah overlapped with Christmas, there are more than 50 in the last 100 years.
It overlapped in 2011. The next time will be 2016.

∙ 12y agoRemember that Hanukkah is an 8 day festival, so it can never entirely fall on the same date as Christmas.
But if you are talking about years where the holidays overlap, then there are nearly a thousand different dates. They can't be listed here.
They overlap in 2011. The next time the two holidays overlap will be 2016 and then again in 2019.
