Hanukkah is celebrated during the Hebrew months of Kislev (starting on the 25th day of the month) and Tevet (it ends on the 2nd - or, if Kislev has been a "short" month with one less day than normal, something that happens in the Hebrew calendar - the 3rd.
As the Hebrew calendar does not match the Gregorian (secular) calendar, this means that Hanukkah can start on any day between late November to late December.
