You will have to break them up onto different circuits. Unplug some of the lights till the breaker holds and find an outlet on a different circuit for the rest. Be sure you use GFCI protection for ALL outdoor lights. I regularly install Christmas lighting circuits this time of year, so if you can't break them up call a local electrician. Have a safe and merry Christmas.

You are putting a too big of a load on your wireing in your house. Instead of your wires in the walls burning up, the breaker trips. Soooo, don't use so many light
