Tripod and remote trigger.
I don't know what the condition is like. Moving lights? Super crowded?

Tripod and remote trigger is a given. Mostly stationary lights, not overly crowded MC.

WB seems like it would be the biggest challenge, given all the different colors of light.

This article seems to have some solid advice: Christmas Photography: How to Photograph Christmas Lights

Where in MD are you? I'm in VA, just east of the WV panhandle, about 60 miles west of DC.
