An example of a frustum of a hexagonal pyramid (a.k.a. hexagonal frustum) from Wikipedia:

An example of hexagonal frustum

Is there a quick way to build one, given the Region of two $n$-sided polygon bases?

    $\begingroup$ Are the two hexagons 1. already embedded in 3D; and 2. always guaranteed to be parallel? At the very least, one possibility is to use ConvexHullMesh[] on the points comprising the two faces. $\endgroup$

Solution comes from @J.M.'s ennui. Example:

pts1 = Append[0.] /@ N[CirclePoints[2, 6]]
pts2 = Append[3.5] /@ N[CirclePoints[{1, 0}, 1, 6]]
ConvexHullRegion[pts1~Join~pts2] // Region

Result
