I had to wait TWO YEARS for my Tel Galen since I started in July 2019 and it only became available again this past summer. The Colossal Aldmeri Grotto should probably return next year, maybe for the Daedra event, but then again, maybe not until later. Some housing returns have coincided with events (this year’s pan-Elsweyr event) but other times not (again, my Tel Galen).

I am now down to missing two homes, which is Princely Dawnlight and Aldmeri Grotto, one of the two in the November showcase. It's kinda nuts to think about but I went from so little to so much.
If I were to be a betting woman, then Colossal Aldmeri Grotto will either come back December or the next month. They've been going through all the previous homes quite consistently. While it is annoying that it takes so long for homes to come back to the CS, the past year has been great for crown store returns, and a part of me is glad there is at least some gap so that I can save up in that time, if it must be this way.
For context, here are all of the homes I have snatched up over the course of 2021, not counting the ones I already owned:
-Varlaisvea
-Kushalit Sanctuary
-Stone Eagle Aerie
-Grand Topal
-Linchal Grand Manor
-Lakemire Xanmeer
-Elinhir Arena
-Pariah's Pinnacle
-Jode's Embrace
-Potentates
-Erstwhile Sanctuary
-Hunter's Glade
-Pantherfang Chapel
-Sweetwater Cascades
I show this list not because I'm trying to show off but to show we've come a long way and I'm sure we'll get it soon. I want it to come back too since I missed it that one year. With house gifting I'm able to get my hands on all the pretty homes I was only able to stare at in previous years.

At this point I just really hope it will come back to store next month once crowns will be on sale.

There will be a "Daedric War Celebration" event featuring Vvardenfell, the Clockwork City, and Summerset Isle next year (likely after the Mayhem, but maybe before). Theoretically it is a good chance to bring back all the houses of these zones.

The December crown store showcase is almost empty. But it is not the first time on the Crate month.

What crate month?
Well the showcase isnt empty really,its just the same old stuff repeating each year.

At the middle of the month the new crate season is expected to start, and it seems to me that September (the start of the current season) was rather uninspired too.
It is not literally empty, of course, but even the arms pack is a returning item.

Luckly I dislike the Celestial crate mounts so no real reason for me to gamble as I have enough gems to unlock the smaller stuff in case I would want something badly.

There is not much in them for my taste and the crown exchange rate is not good enough for getting something only partially interesting. Ironically, the rewards for the upcoming events are more interesting to me than things from future crates.

Pardon my ignorance but what are the rewards in the upcoming event? I could not remember last years New Life festival rewards.

I meant next year events, not New Life. The New Life should be the last pieces of the house. On the next year events there will be some golden dragon pet and golden scales skin (both connected to Akatosh).

Edit: looking at the possible rewards in PTS patch notes I have to correct myself: "likely before the Mayhem, but maybe after" (maybe, because in past years Mayhem was the first event of the year).
