The most notable similarity is the use of a kinara during Kwanzaa - a seven-branched canlestick that looks very much like the Jewish menorah. Three red candles are placed on the left of the kinara and three green candles on the right with a central black candle. The black candle is lit on the first night. The second night, the outermost red candle is lit, the third night the outer most green candle and so on through the seven days of the festival - each candle represents one of the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa. Gifts are given during Kwanzaa, which is another feature shared with Hanukkah (and Christmas).
Answer:Hanukkah is a religious Jewish festival that was instituted around 2200 years ago, while Kwanzaa is a secular salute of African heritage that began in 1966. Therefore, any similarity is either coincidental or mere imitation.It should be noted that the giving of presents is not traditional during Hanukkah. It's an imitation of Christmas by non-Orthodox Jews. The only traditional gift during Hanukkah is the gelt (coins) given to children.
