Hanukkah is an 8 day holiday. If you are talking about the first night of Hanukkah, then it has happened only four times in the last 100 years: in 1918, 1921, 1959 and 2005.

If you are talking about years that Hanukkah overlapped with Christmas, there are more than 50 in the last 100 years.

It overlapped in 2011. The next time will be 2016.
