For 2025, Hanukkah begins at sundown on December 14 and lasts for eight nights. The holiday ends at sundown on December 22. The first day of Hanukkah takes place each year on the 25th of the month of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar, which corresponds to November-December in the Gregorian calendar. The Hebrew calendar is based on the lunar cycle, which means the dates of the holiday change yearly.
