Drinking from the kiddush cup is an important part of Shabbat and most Jewish holidays. The word kiddush refers not to the cup itself but to the blessing said over the wine or Grape Juice in the cup, an event that blesses and sanctifies the holiday and it one of the chief ways (along with avoiding the 39 categories of work forbidden during Shabbat) that Jews abide by the mitzvah("commandment") to observe these special days. Reciting the kiddush blessing before the meal eaten after nightfall on Shabbat (the first meal of Shabbat) is commanded by the Torah whereas reciting it before other meals during Shabbat is a tradition of rabbinic orgin, meaning that rabbis decided it should be done without the Torah commanding it. Reciting kiddush before the last meal during Shabbat is largely optional - most Jews do not, but the 12th Century rabbi, doctor and philosopher Maimonides, who still has an enormous influence on Jewish thought to this day, believed that it should be carried out and so there are many Jews who do.
A kiddush cup can be any cup and of any material, but as is commonly the case with any ceremonial object (such as the crucifix a Christian might wear, the idols used by Hindus in their household temples and so on) people like to have a cup and so most are made of silver and often beautifully decorated.
Wine is a symbol of joy, and Shabbat is the most joyful day of the week. A special blessing, called Kiddush, is said over Shabbat, that also includes wine. The cup later came to be called a kiddush cup, but the cup has no religious significance, other than to be a special symbol for shabbat (and other holy days) that has no other use.
A kiddush cup, often made of silver, holds the wine on which we say the blessing (the kiddush) announcing the Sabbath. It can also be used for other blessings over wine such as Havdalah and the wedding-blessings.

If you eat a meal after havdalah which includes bread, you say hamotsi. Kiddush is not said on Saturday night unless a Yom Tov begins on that night.The traditional meal eaten after Havdalah includes bread (where possible), and is called the Melaveh Malkah, in honor of the departing Sabbath.

Usually, the father cuts the Challah and/or says the Kiddush (the blessing over the wine), but this is not necessary. Anyone in the family can cut the Challah, say the Kiddush, light the candles, etc. There is really no requirement for the father, mother, grandfather, etc. to do certain things for Shabbat.
The bride and groom take turns drinking wine from the Kiddush cup during the Jewish wedding ceremony.
There are no special drinks on hanukkah. Drink whatever you want.
Kiddush (קידוש) means hallowing or sanctifying
You drink the first cup after saying Kiddush in the beginning of the seder. You drink the second cup after saying Hallelujah and before the washing of the hands (Rahatz) Then you drink the third cup before Hallel and at this point, the Cup of Elijah is filled. Finally, the fourth cup is to be drank right before the acceptance of the divine service or Nirtza.
The Shulchan Aruch (Remo in 271:12) indeed says that one should wash before Kiddush and make Hamotzi immediately after Kiddush- and the Yekkes (Jews whose ancestors lived in Germany) actually do so. See Mishna Brura Vol 3. pg 95-96 for details. Note that even according to those that say that one should wash after Kiddush, pasken that the Man of the House (the person making Kiddush) should do so; everybody else should wash before Kiddush.
