I would rather they do different things. I like the idea of those trees and I don't see why a winter tree looking like trees from a wintery zone is particularly a negative (or avoidable even if they made this one from scratch).
That's a completely separate issue. I would argue that those items might as well not be in the game if you missed out on those events, since the only way to get them is to fork over money. There's no option to take advantage of past events. If you want an indoor tree this year, your options are to hand millions of gil to a hoarder, or pay square five bucks. This isn't even the main point of the conversation though; the point is that past events had nice stuff that anyone could use, and this year's event is really only useful to a homeowner, with a reindeer mount that'll get as much use as any other mount (i.e. not much, unless you spend all of your time outside major cities/towns). Seasonal outfits can be used anywhere, by anyone; an indoor tree can be used by anyone with any kind of home at all. I'm tired of returning to the point of "well I like the tree." Whether or not you personally like the tree is moot; most people can't even use it, and that's the bigger issue. Compare that to past events, where it had costumes that anyone could wear. Furniture that people with apartments could utilize. etc.
