If you don't want to convert your list to all sub list then You can try something like this :

input_x = ['1', ['2', '2x'], '3', '4', ['5', '5x'],['6','6x']]

import itertools
non_li=[]
li=[]
for i in input_x:
    if isinstance(i,list):
        li.append(i)
    else:
        non_li.append(i)



for i in itertools.product(*li):
    sub=non_li[:]
    sub.extend(i)
    print(sorted(sub))

output:

['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6']
['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6x']
['1', '2', '3', '4', '5x', '6']
['1', '2', '3', '4', '5x', '6x']
['1', '2x', '3', '4', '5', '6']
['1', '2x', '3', '4', '5', '6x']
['1', '2x', '3', '4', '5x', '6']
['1', '2x', '3', '4', '5x', '6x']
