Question:
Is Shechiyanu required to be said on Chanukah and Purim?
Chanukah
See משנה ברורה ס’ תרע”ו ס”ק ב

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=60391&st=&pgnum=293
See פרי חדש ס’ תרע”ו ס”ק א who rules shechiyanu on chanuka is only on the mitzvah of menorah and not on the yom tov
And so rules the פרי מגדים משבצות זהב ס’ תרע”ו ס”ק ב
Purim
Review משנה ברורה ס’ תרצ”ב ס”ק א and ביאור הלכה “ושהחיינו

The Gemara asks why don’t we recite the bracha of Shechiyanu on the Yom tov of Seventh day of Pesach as it is different from the first day of Pesach in regards to the requirement to eat matzah.
Based on the above difference Shechiyanu should be said on the first day of chol hamoed?
