Any similarity would be the result of Christmas influencing Hanukkah. Because Christmas is such a big holiday, certain practices were borrowed by some Jews to celebrate Hanukkah, such as gift-giving and some decorating.

But the traditional practice of Hanukkah has nothing in common with Christmas.

It should be noted that Hanukkah as it is observed by Orthodox Jews is not influenced by Christmas at all.
