So do Ikea table lamps, but it is not illegal to chop
the 3 square pin plug off, fit a 5amp round pin plug and
use it quite safely.

You could use a fused spur and leave the Xmas lights up all

I have 1.5mm cable for a downstairs lighting circuit.
Can I add a 3 pin socket to it above the door
for use by christmas lights etc?

You could use one of those 3-round pin 5 amp sockets intended
for table lamps etc. Less bulky than the 13A variety.
