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?

Yes, but preferably 2 amp or 5 amp.

Not considered good practice to fit a 13A socket to a lighting circuit.

but electrically safe as long as it has the correct breaker in the cu.

it may not be safe if the lights go out in the dark.
