No, the menorah (candle-holder for eight candles) is used only during Hanukkah. However, two candles are lit before nightfall, as is done on the eve of every Shabbat and festival.

It would be eccentric to use a Hanukkah menorah, but not forbidden. At every Jewish festival dinner, including the Passover Seder, Jews customarily light at least two candles, the festival lights. Those candles should be big enough to burn throughout the meal, and it is customary to let them burn down and go out naturally. Most Hanukkah menorahs take small candles that don't last long enough for a seder, but I've seen menorahs that take full-sized Shabbat candles that last 4 to 6 hours.
