I would have to say Midsummer Festival. Not only is there a great chance to shame the Alliance by dousing their flames, a great boss that drops epic loot, and lots of great vanity items, sexy Brazier of Dancing Flames, but when else can you do a Burning Hot Pole Dance and get a great buff to help you on your quest to 85!
Definitely Hallow's End, especially with the recent additions! I love the new cat pet and bombing Stormwind with stink bombs!

I like Hallow's End best. I'm not too sure about this year's additions of Gilnean influence, but I enjoy dressing up with masks and gobbling candy until I barf. Now if only the stupid Horseman's mount would drop for me...
Hallow's End is my favorite. Love the changes this year and the new pets! :) Still after the mount on my main, but one of my alts got it (of course).
I love Hallows End! Headless Horseman is (well, was... he's kinda weak this year) a fun boss and the quests and all the items make people interact with eachother in a really cool way. Asking around in trade for different wands, helping friends put out the fires, stinking up the other factions towns. Overall it's just a time when people play WITH eachother, not beside oneanother.
Winter's Veil is my fav. Just doesn't feel like XMas IRL without Winter's Veil ingame for some reason... wierd right?
Hallow's End & Winter Veils because I enjoy both on World of Warcraft.
My favorite is Hallow's end because of all the wands. When Im raiding and we are taking a quick 5 I like zapping everybody into something neat. That and the instant mount broom. You can go 5 miles above Stormwind dismount *skydive* make funny noises than click the broom mount and BAM you are safe. Or jump off a high ledge with your mammoth than switch to broom instantly it pretty fun.
Personally, my favorite holiday is Love is in the Air. The reason I love this holiday is because this was the time of year I started leveling my Warrior, and took advantage of the holiday events to speed up my leveling. This became the most epic journey I've ever had in this game.TL;DR is at the bottom of this word-wall. The huge attack power boost from the Bravado Cologne is something I'll never forget, lol; Charge, Heroic Strike, Victory Rush, next mob was way more fun that it should've been... But that was just the beginning.I was around level 30, and I learned that this character was my favorite one to play; I found a class I thoroughly enjoyed, and played him every day, even changed up my raiding schedule to find more time to play him. At level 50, I went Protection, and it got even more fun! I was having a blast going through dungeons, pulling huge groups of trash and feeling like a wrecking ball. It was great, and I already knew he'd by my main at some point, but somewhere along the line, plans changed up a bit.At level 65, I found a 70 twink Warrior on our server named Tersera. I'll never forget him, because he inspired me to make the best decision I've made in this game in all 5 years of my play time; he got me to 70 twink. Watching him duel 80 Rogues and come out on top, I wanted to be like him. I wanted to play a Warrior well, and I wanted cool gear to match, but I wasn't sure if I was going to just stop leveling to do it (Especially since in a raid I could still level, experience-off NPC's weren't out quite yet). But, one day in Borean Tundra, level 69 and going on 70, I heard someone was starting up a Black Temple, and that's when I decided I'd do it.I never got to raid in the Burning Crusade, so the new experience was fun for me. I loved the raid, even with the wipes we had on a few of the fights (Council, Reliquary, Illidan mainly), and looked forward to getting more of this feel. I even got a few great pieces of gear (Some of my T6 gear, few off-pieces), and you know what? I was having fun. Considering I hadn't enjoyed anything from Trial of the Crusader and only got to see a little of Ulduar due to real life problems, that's what mattered the most to me.Time flew by, I kept running all of the BC raids whenever I saw groups going, met up with a few other 70 twinks, started to play with them on occasion, got to know them. Near the start of summer, I finally started a guild for all of us to be in, and maybe attract a few other 70's to start playing. I started setting up our own raids, and eventually we had enough players to go into ZA as a guild, and Karazhan soon after. I learned how to play my Warrior more and more skillfully as we progressed. We were all having fun, and it stayed this way for a very long time...It was a year later, in late summer, that things started looking dull. Eventually, it was becoming a dull routine; I only needed two items from Sunwell Plateau, and I'd be in full BiS. The realization dawned on me that we wouldn't have enough players to ever run SWP as a full 25 man, nor would we get to do it with BT (Though we did get every boss up to Mother with 15 people), and that was my goal since the foundation of the guild. It was still fun to out-threat the 80's in ICC gear on some fights, and I was known well on my server for tanking my own raids. But, other than that, it was a slow end to my twinking; Cataclysm was on the way, talent tree changes made me wonder if it was worth it to play a Warrior at 70 anymore, and generally, it wasn't the same as when I started. I made the decision to level, and gave the Guild Master position to a close friend and officer. However, drama ensued, and the guild broke up.It was a sad time.I leveled up to 80, during the pre-Cata events. Tanked a few raids here and there to get some easy gear (I was wearing 70 pieces still!), had some fun doing that. Even got a little bit of T10 going before Cata hit. I still had my Mage and Druid at 80, Mage was my main at the time, but I thought I'd level my Mage to 80 first for my main's raiding plans. Then, they broke up. So I tried to form a guild for Cataclysm with some friends, but two of them had to quit just when we had 10 people, so that was out of the window too. Losing friends also sucked. So, I went ahead and leveled my Mage without a guild when Cata hit. Got bored of playing on him after not getting to see any content, so I went ahead and leveled my Warrior to 85.After gearing up, getting craftable items made with the help of my guild, and tanking a good portion of T11 content, I was happy again. The content was decently difficult, and I enjoyed the challenge. Unfortunately, for me, my guild didn't. They had no intention of trying the elemental council or Chimaeron, so after three weeks of the same fights over and over, I left. Didn't do much on my 85's for a long time, mainly played alts, like my 60 Warlock and 70 Hunter.Everything changed in one night. My two pals asked me to come and DPS Bastion on my Mage, something I didn't expect to hear from anyone. I wasn't up to it at first, thinking I'd have a poor performance, but after coaxing me into it, I entered a guild run with me being the only exception. Everyone in the raid was polite, and I had a great time with them; we even got Cho'gall down to phase 2 (This was pre-nerf, so I felt decently accomplished). I was asked if I wanted to join the guild, and sure enough, I went with it.About a month after joining, the tank in our group had to take a break, due to real life issues, so I offered my Warrior as his replacement. They almost all recognized my character name, so I was pretty happy to see I wasn't forgotten after about two years! We got down Cho'gall just in time before the nerf, almost had Nefarian, and were making good progression on Al'Akir as the nerf hit. We just went with it, got a bit more T11 gear, and stepped into the Firelands.That Warrior I made so long ago is now my main. I'm happy to think of those days from a humble beginning, and the days I raid on him now. I enjoy almost everyone in my raid group, and can't imagine playing this game without them. It's wierd even to me that a game makes me this happy, but hey, games are supposed to be fun. As for Tersera, he quit a bit before I leveled my Warrior to 80; still won't forget him. As for this year's plans for Love is in the Air, I plan to get that damn rocket on my Warrior to have a constant reminder of what led to all of the fun times I've had and what's to come.TL;DR: Leveled a Warrior to screw with crazy holiday AP/exp buffs, did some 70 raids as a twink, learned how to play him by doing so, made him my sort-of-main, leveled to 80 as Cata was getting here, hit 85, got invited to my current raiding guild in T11, still playing now as my main character, loving every day of it.
Winter Veil.I actually started playing WoW during Winter Veil in 2008. Brings back memories of exploring Azeroth while throwing snowballs at random people. I remember how jealous I were everytime I saw someone on a flying reindeer. I had no idea (Since I was a newbie) how to transform your mount into one at that time. But I definitely love the little gnomes! (Or should I say little helpers :P) they're so cute! (Gnomes in general are cute xD) Besides, I love the new vanity item each year! And who doesn't love throwing snowballs at their racial leader? :P (R.I.P Cairne D:)Anyways, I've always loved Winter Veil, and always will. :)
Brewfest has to be my favorite. The Wolpertinger was my favorite non combat pet back in Vanilla Wow. I always loved the Horde Brewfest music and running around throwing booze at Dwarves. Now I love the free trinkets!
My favorite Holiday in World of Warcraft is Hallow's End. It's my favorite real life holiday (Halloween), so why shouldn't it be in WoW as well? Only thing is I hate the RNG on the Headless Horseman mount, this is the third straight year I haven't been able to get it on my main. :(They spiced the event up this year, it's way more awesome then it has been in the past. I even feel like they upped the decorations :).Not only was it also the month where I met my girlfriend of 2 years and got her into the game, but it was also the first Holiday that I got my first toon to max level (during BC when 70 was the level cap) and was allowed to do the Headless Horseman "dungeon". So there is just so much to love about this holiday. The decorations, the event, the items, the pets, dressing up in game like you do for Halloween in real life. Just SO much! :)
Midsummer Fire Festival!It happens around my birthday; who doesn't want a world in which people party on your birthday!
I really like Hallow's End. I love Halloween in real life but I love WoW's take on it. I really like the Forsaken as a race and just the lore behind the holiday is so awesome.Plus, trick or treating is so much fun! I can't do it in real life anymore so doing it on WoW is the next best thing.
