On Motzai Shabbat - the second night of Chanukah this year - one first makes Havdalah and then lights the Chanukah Menorah.
In Shul the Menorah is lit after the full-Kaddish - before ויתן לך - on Motzai Shabbat.
Source: Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 139:18
Some have the custom of lighting the Menorah before making Havdala, since one already heard Havdalah in shul. (Source: רמ"א 581:2)
