Channukah, starts like most Jewish holidays in the evening, as said in the Old Testament; First there was evening, and then there was light, thus was the first day. Jewish people have always followed this that the new "day" starts in the evening. Thus is the same for this holiday; as the first candle is lit on the evening and it is then a "day" for the next 24 hours.
