Yes, E26 and E27 bases will fit the same socket. Have you ever put in a light bulb and noticed it had a very slight wiggle to it or it was a bit tight? this is the primary difference between that 1mm base size difference. Both sizes are sold depending on the manufactures design preference. In the past European bulbs were E27 and US bulbs E26.

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.
