Probably not, but it's possible.
It isn't known what year Hanukkah first started to be celebrated as a holiday. Hanukkah commemorates the Maccabean War of 165 BCE, but the first recorded reference to Hanukkah wasn't until the 3rd Century.
Perhaps, but we don't know. In John 10:22-24 The Bible says:
22At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23and Jesus was walking in the temple,(AK) in the colonnade of Solomon. 24So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are(AL) the Christ,(AM) tell us plainly." The translators call it Feast of Dedication; we know it as Chanukkah. But all we know from the text is that Jesus was in Jerusalem during Chanukah, not that He took part.

∙ 11y agoJesus was Jewish and therefore would have celebrated all Jewish Holidays. We know from the New Testament Jesus at least celebrated The Feast of Tabernacles [John 7:1-16] Hanukkah (Feast of Dedication [ John 10:22] and Passover [ Luke 22:7-10] We also know that Jesus celebrated weddings [John 2]. Based on these festivals that Jesus celebrated and observed it would make sense that Jesus would celebrate the other Jewish holidays as well mentioned in Leviticus 23 [ First fruits, Feast of Weeks, Rosh Hashannah (feast of trumpets) and Yom Kippur] and Purim (Esther 9:18-28)

Although Hanukkah commemorates a war that took place in 165 BCE, there is no record of it being observed as a holiday until about 400 years later, in the 3rd century.
The above answer is mistaken. The celebrating of Hanukkah is mentioned much earlier than that, both in Josephus (Antiquities ch.12) and the ancient Book of Maccabees (I, 4:56-59; and II, 1:18). Moreover, there's an apparent reference to it in the Christian Testament as well.
