It depends on what type of Christmas lights.
If they are the (now) standard 50 , 100, 150, mini-lights, they use a 3A fuse and you COULD use a MAXIMUM of about 750 lights if they are strung together from one string (end to end plugs) before blowing the fuse built into the plug of the first light set.
If you plug them into separate outlets (or into an outlet-strip), then you could light about 3750 lights on a (otherwidse unused) 15 A household circuit.
With the new LED type Christmas lights, it might be even more.

∙ 15y agoDepends on how many amps the string(s) draw, and how many amps are on the circuit (look at the circuit breaker, it has a number at the end of the switch). If the lights are the only thing on that circuit, you should be able to add strings that equal the amps on that circuit.

Would you use Series or parallel circuit for Christmas lights?
Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest of the bulbs will go out. But with parallel circuit lights, if one bulb blows the rest of the bulbs will remain their brightness.
