Tinker1966 : I agree, they are nice lanterns. Maybe the Christmas connection is the tassely bit! I seem to remember on the box it said "Christmas and Decoration lights" or something like that, so like yours, they could be used anytime for a splash of jolly colour.
Herald1360 : It would mean quite a bit of Dremel action once you see the bulb
It's a long bulb, so would mean some serious effort and I doubt would be an invisible repair. However... the good news is the surviving lanterns all have working bulbs
