LED wiring project questions

What is the best approach for updating the wiring/lighting in this small craft project? Resources for getting started with LED's?

My mom gave me an old advent calendar to repair that was built by my uncle decades ago. The wiring for the lighting looks like it should be completely replaced. Some of the insulation on the wiring is completely burned off. (Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/pFDdq1t)

I'm thinking I could update this using LED's, but I don't have much experience with them and the available options are overwhelming. Would there be a kit I could purchase, or do I need to assemble a kit myself from parts? What would I need to purchase, and from where? Types of bulbs, power supply, a controller?

I'd like to keep them all wired in parallel. I'm OK with some soldering. I don't need these to change colors, but having them be dimmable would be nice if it doesn't add too much expense.

Thanks for any info and resources!
