The “roadie wrap” technique works on Christmas lights - you can’t do a satisfying throw and have the cable unfurl perfectly like you can with a roadie wrapped power cord but xmas light strings are usually too long to throw out to unfurl anyway plus the lights catch on the wires so throwing is out but putting the loop on the floor and having it perfectly unwrap as you pull the end never gets old :-)
