I love Winter's Veil. It has the nice Christmas feel to it, which feels all the more perfect when you set your hearthstone to Ironforge!

Midsummer fire festival - there is something primal in the fiery celebration of the shortest night in the year...
hollows end, for easy epics items
What is your favorite holiday in World of Warcraft and why? Winters Veil, because I like Christmas and Christmas trees, it reminds me of a nicer time in my life as a child surrounded by family around the Christmas tree giving and receiving gifts. The entirety of my family is gone now, so I enjoy getting together with friends even if it is only via the web and trading gifts from various places in Azeroth and beyond.
Best one is Hallows End, no doubt.The Hallows End offers costumes, candy, quests, story, epic lewtz (!). All this in an interesting and most importantly, fun way!
As there are many holidays to consider, and all of them equally excellent in terms of unique collectables, events, and group activities to take part in, the decision to select one is difficult to say the least.However, I have to say that my personal favorite has always been Children's Week and for a multitude of reasons.Firstly, Children's Week is the one week out of the year when both the Horde (of which I am a member) and the Alliance are focused not on one another, but on the younger denizens of their respective capitals. Most importantly, the orphans that live amongst the warriors, mages, warlocks, and hunters that roam the streets at all hours of the day and usually pass by them every single day without a glance. For one week, these little ones, often the victims of war, plague, famine, or other tragic events, are the sole focus for each of these wondrous heroes who usually pay them less than a moment of their time. In terms of play value, I really enjoy this turn of the story element as we are shown that the Blizzard Developers have gone to great lengths to show that no single NPC is left out of the narrative, not even those little ones that usually remain hidden in the towering shadows of the valorous heroes whose names they often hear announced on high throughout the city upon the accomplishment of great deeds. It is in this week, they get to meet them and learn a little more about who they may or may not emulate. It's this deep level of non-warlike storytelling I really enjoy.Secondly, it's the nature of the week for players in real life. During Children's Week, youngsters from all over the globe often are brought into the game for the first time. It's a chance, not only for the community to develop further, gain a following in the next generation, but also for parents to share something with their kids that they truly enjoy. Few things can so innocuously bring families closer together and with such little effort. This subtle yet "bigger" influence is just behind the avatars being played in both factions and I am always reminded of this when I see a new level 1 or 2 player running with a familiar face or guild mate, hurrying to catch the next part of a quest, or quietly taking the time to explain everything in every minute detail to the new player, broadening both their connection to their parent but also their own imagination. This is a huge thing for me and I'm not even sure Blizzard intended it, but I see worlds being created behind the eyes of children given the chance to partake in something alongside their mommy or daddy and I think that's one heck of an outstanding achievement.Lastly, and more selfishly, I love the quest chain and the collectible pet at the end. As an achievement hunter, I will have the chance to complete my last Children's Week achievement (and also the last World Event achievement) during the next Children's Week and I have long been looking forward to that. Also, the quest chain is excellently written so as to conjure up the imagery of actually shepherding a child on what to them is a great adventure. It speaks to the child still in me (as I'm sure it does to so many others) and in that, I think in a way keeps me young at heart and still able to enjoy the game no matter what takes place during a weekly raid, daily dungeon, or plethora of archaeology hunting expeditions.Thanks for giving us all a chance to answer what would seem a simple question. It's an opportunity to really express to everyone just what we think in regards to the epic creation that is World of Warcraft. Thanks to Blizzard and thanks to Wowhead.-Pyrannor, Norgannon
My favorite holiday would be "Love is in the air". My Indonesian fiancee is on the other side of the globe, so our love is not physical. it would be perfect if she played this game too. She might love pandas, but since we're in different time zones our free time don't match. On the other side I'm in a guild whose leader is South African, while I'm Dutch. It shows that somethings far way are better. Makes me wonder if Booty Bay is SA, would Feathermoon be Indonesia?Yes, i do play too much... but the plans to go to Feather... I mean Indonesia are taking form as we speak.
Brewfest for me too.Although Hallow's End is a close second.
I love Winter Veil, because it's a time where everything is so...awesome!
Hallow's End ofcourse,Transforming people into Leper Gnomes while in Firelands, ftw! :D
brewfest duh!
