∙ 12y agoHanukkah is the Jewish solstice holiday. It does not have to occur at the same time as Christmas. It begins on the 25th day of Kislev, according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Georgian calendar.

∙ 11y agoThe Hebrew calendar makes no mention and takes no notice of Christmas, and Christmas is completely irrelevant to the scheduling of any Jewish date for commemoration.
You're obviously fishing for 'Hanukkah' as your answer, which, in different years, can occur at anytime from late November through December. Be assured, though, that Chanukah is not celebrated "along with Christmas", any more than Passover is celebrated 'along with' Easter, or Purim along with Washington's Birthday.
The reason that Hanukkah is celebrated has to do with a military revolt in Ancient Judea and the resulting miraculous lighting of the candelabra in the Temple Sanctuary after the fighting. Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus. The two events have nothing in common other than the time of year in which they happened.

Does china celabrate christmas?
Some Chinese people celebrate Christmas. I have been to China during the winter and saw many department stores with decorations of Christmas Trees, Santa Claus, and Christmas Tree bulbs. However, since many Chinese are not Christians, they do not celebrate the birth of Jesus on this day. To them, it is just another holiday. Kwanzaa is an African American Holiday, not celebrated in China. Hanukkah is Jewish holiday, only celebrated in China by Jewish tourists and Jewish foreign workers.
