In a series circuit, if any one bulb goes open the rest of the lights will go out. The current flow in a series circuit is common throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit when one bulb goes open the rest remain on due to the configuration of a parallel circuit.
In series one dies the rest go. In parallel the light burns out and you can see which one.

Parallel.
A parallel circuit. All the lights are connected in parallel across the power source.
There is no 'better' or 'worse' between series or parallel circuits.it all depends on what the circuit is needed to do.The most common example of series circuit, is fairy lights for Xmas trees. It is convenient to use low voltage lamps in series, dividing the mains voltage across them.However if just one lamp should fail, the circuit is broken and no lamps will light.Decorative lights are now being replaced with LED's which are driven by a combination of series and parallel.Using LED's in series, needs only one resistor to limit the current. Fortunately LEDs have a long life and are less likely to go open circuit.
Batteries in parallel maintain constant voltage across the load rather in a series, so it is better to arrange the batteries in parallel Batteries in series deliver a higher voltage, batteries in parallel have longer life use.
They are parallel, or at least you HOPE they are parallel.
With series Christmas lights, if one burns out, the whole string stops working. With parallel Christmas lights one light burning out only affects that light. This makes it much easier to replace burned out lights in the case of the parallel lights.
both
House lights are wired in parallel. If they were in series, when one burned out, all would. Christmas lights are wired in a combination of series and parallel - roughly 50 lights in each series string. that's why if one bulb burns out, a section of the lights goes out.
Everything in a house is wired in parallel. If you had lights is series when one burns out they would all go out, much like cheap 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.

Christmas lights is series combination
Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.
Yes
parallel circuits can be used for lots of things.Things such as : . Christmas tree lights False for A+
Your house wiring, Christmas lights (usually ~50 are in series, so if you have a string of 200, you have 4 parallel groups of 50 series lights), sound systems using multiple speakers on a single channel (usually wired in parallel, but could be in series depending on speaker and amp spec).
