✭✭✭✭✭Halloween was celebrated with the pumpkin and scarecrow polymorph I don't know why Christmas isn't being celebrated in the same way but hey they are bringing back some good items this month like the black panther so im happy finally get a chance to buy it since it was never available for console players
Halloween wasn't celebrated in ESO. The Witches Festival was. Here are some excerpts from the ElderScrolls Holiday Calendar:
Annual Events during Frostfall
5th of Frostfall: Dirij Tereur celebrated in the Alik'r Desert.
13th of Frostfall: Witches' Festival celebrated in Tamriel. It is the day when the forces of Sorcery and Religion clash.
23rd of Frostfall: Broken Diamonds celebrated in Tamriel. The day on which, in 3E 121 when Kintyra II was killed in Glenpoint (referenced in Daggerfall).
30th of Frostfall: Emperor's Birthday celebrated
Evening Star
Evening Star is the final month of the 12 Months in the Elder Scrolls universe. It is considered to be a Winter month (by our definition). It is homologous to December. (June in the Southern Hemisphere.)
Annual Events during Evening Star:Edit
15th of Evening Star: North Wind's Prayer is celebrated.
18th of Evening Star: Baranth Do is celebrated (Redguard festival). It is a celebration of the new year.
20th of Evening Star: The Invocation of Molag Bal.
24th of Evening Star: Chil'a is celebrated. (Redguard festival). It is a celebration of the new year.
25th of Evening Star: New Life Festival is celebrated. The New Life Festival comes a few days early in Wayrest. Originally a holiday for a long forgotten god of debauchery, it has become a time of gift giving, parties, and parading.
31st of Evening Star: Old Life Festival is celebrated.

The lore breaking argument set aside, ZOS could certainly host some in game events to celebrate the more important ES holidays (which happen to coincide with RL Holidays).
So where's the expensive goodies with the New Life Festival theme?
Sadly, it does seem as if ESO is determined to only "celebrate" holidays by offering us new things we have to buy that are sketchy with the lore at best. Disappointing.
I'd have been super excited by lore-appropriate holiday content. But...nope.

Christmas was originally a German pagan holiday.Christians DID borrow it as you say. :}[/quote]
Exactly so then why couldn't an inn game lore friendly holiday not borrow them as well and use the old style decorations so that they fit in?0 -

Seriously, I will quit ESO if they throw IRL Holidays in-game. Use the "lore friendly" versions if you must, but I *HATE* IRL Holidays seeping into a fantasy realm.Wake up, we're here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up...0 -

During the w/E celebration, the roving bands of new life could occasionally be joined by groups from and sometimes including my second favorite daedra, the prince of debauchery!Edited by BarbarianRogue on December 18, 2015 5:55PM0

What? No they didn't create the lore AT ALL
Infact if zenimax wants to do anything that could remotely impact the lore they have to get permission first, they are not allows to touch it. Part of the contract of even making the game.and since the lore is the very basis of all elder scrolls games, they will always say no.
