Time for Accepting Shabbat on Hanukkah

Question

How should one who usually accepts Shabbat at Plag Hamincha act during Hanukkah?

 

Answer

Shalom and Happy Hanukkah

It is not possible to accept Shabbat so early because it is forbidden to light Hanukkah candles before Plag Hamincha. Therefore, this Shabbat should be accepted later.
