I cover all connections with plastic wrap and try to seal them water tight.

This is actually not a good thing.

Unless the connectors are literally encapsulated with proper material,
moisture will easily and quickly penetrate the wrapping and RETAIN moisture.

After ensuring the plug ends are firmly and completely together, it is better
to leave them UNwrapped and exposed. This allows any moisture to drain away
or evaporate. They can lay on the ground, UNDER snow, with no problem.

Wrapping outdoor holiday light connections in plastic wrap is no more than a
"feel good" activity. Save your efforts for more decorating.
