I like that idea with the GFI right beside the switch like that.. Sure beats going out to reset a GFI in the cold and wet!
At my parents place I have all their outdoor lighting and outlets for festive lighting controlled off a photo control that drives a contactor in the basement.. Works well... GFI's are in the basement too..

Leviton makes a combi GFCI/Switch. It requires only 1 gang.

Leviton 8299

You may have to special order it.

I have seen those and I think my old place of employment stocks them.. the ONLY problem with them is the switch is rated at something like 600 - 800W MAX... Not ideal for Christmas lighting unless of course its all LED!

The switch is rated at 1000 Watts per Leviton's catalog.
