Are the festivals like the witches festival or the new life festival returning this year, or were they a 1 time event only?

    Excellent question. The way things are designed in the game, it looks like they're meant to return every year, but that remains to be confirmed by ZOS ( @ZOS_GinaBruno )

    On one hand I wish they do return (so that new players can enjoy them too), but on the other hand, I wish they'll be replaced by new events (so that we can enjoy something new !)

    The Anniversary event repeated this year, so I think it's safe to assume that the other holiday events will repeat too.

    The anniversary event didn't "repeat itself". There was one in 2015 and one in 2016 but they were entirely different. In 2015 there was a double-XP cake, in 2016 there was a double-XP-cake AND wonder boxes with tons of valuable stuff with each daily quest.

    I have no doubt that the festivals will take place again, but the entire issue is whether they will be exactly the same or different ones, maybe with different loot ? For instance, if someone misses the bath towel "costume" will they have a chance at it again ? etc.

    Hmm, fair enough. The events will definitely come back (which I took as the original question), but whether they are exactly the same or not next time is unknown. I would expect a few minor changes, like the Anniversary event had, but the overall feel will probably be the same.

    Well there are Achievements to be earned from them, so I would expect them to return more or less in a similar manner. Maybe updated here and there a bit

    Albeit maybe slightly different so it doesn't get too samey. The Anniversary event was slightly different in that it gave stuff with the dailies while the previous one didn't

    If you look in your Journal and then look under Achievements...and then under Holiday Events; you will see all of the Festivals. If you have already done them...you see you have already obtained the achievement. If there is an achievement that has not been completed on that character, it is a good indication that you either did not do/finish that achievement OR it's a new achievement.

    While I am not currently in-game to verify, I do not recall any new achievements at this point in time - however, as we get closer to said festival, this may change with an update. But for now, you can at least see the Festivals and kind of guess when they will occur (and even the theme) based on the name and/or the substance of the achievements.

    They'll likely reuse part of the old rewards, giving new players a chance to obtain the items, and introduce a few new ones, as well.
