Christmas light

Configuration
1

if a little in advance, I would create an automation that works over the Christmas period. this automation should turn on 2 switches switch.plug_158d00010dd879 and switch.plug_158d00013e76ab, the automation should start from December 8th until January 8th and turn on at sunset and turn off at midnight. is an example possible with yaml or node red? thank you

You will need to change the triggers from lux to sunset/midnight and change the disable / enable dates. As well as the switch entity ids.
