I actually like Phil’s solution better and am using it now.

- id: xmas_lights_on
  alias: 'Xmas Lights On'
  trigger:
    platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.outside_light_level
    below: 660
  condition:
  - condition: sun
    after: sunrise # Active 4 hours after sunrise (prevents false triggering at dawn)
    after_offset: "+04:00:00"
  - condition: template # Only between December 1 and January 6.
    value_template: >
      {% set n = now() %}
      {{ n.month == 12 or ( n.month == 1 and ( 1 <= n.day <= 5 )) }}
  action:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.xmas_tree_lights

- id: xmas_lights_off
  alias: 'Xmas Lights Off'
  trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: '02:00:00'
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.dark_outside
    to: 'off'
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: switch.xmas_tree_lights # only if the lights are on
    state: 'on'
  action:
    service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.xmas_tree_lights
