Would you but a holiday themed stuff pack?

Now that seasons is announced, would anyone be willing to buy a holiday stuff pack? If so, what would you want in it.
For me, I would love a holiday day stuff pack if they added fun interactions that would make our winters more enjoyable. One example of this is gingerbread house making and decorating which could be a fun activity for the whole family. Another awesome activity they could add if it isn't added already would be the ability to sing winter carols (by yourself or with other sims). Sims could even react differently based on their traits

It's the same way that now I feel like my Spooky SP has a point, and will use it during the fall season.
So far with gift giving and tree decorating, it is off to a good start.

I think they could introduce an SP that adds new activities and outfits for your custom holidays. So maybe even if the EP covers the basic holidays, you could get other festive stuff in the SP for other holidays that you can imagine.

I think we are for sure getting beach and moutain GP in the future. Which is why they dont have sunburn, sunbathing, lounge chair, ocean swimming, surfing, snowboarding etc. But I always thought they would go that way.
Why not wait to see what's in the EP? The blog said Sims kids can do crafts so maybe gingerbread house creation will be included. But if the activities can stand on their own for those who don't have Seasons then I suppose it could work.

Spooky Day is rich in Halloween Stuff with Seasons only getting a few additionaly Halloween Items. Christmas Recipes like a Holiday Roast and Christmas Cookies will hopefully be included in Seasons.
A season-themed vacation pack also doesn't appeal to me at all, bc I feel that a feature should be fleshed out in the pack that is dedicated to it. Sure, I'd love new worlds that are influenced in special ways by Seasons, but it shouldn't be a piece chopped out of the EP.

We have the spooky pack and free holiday content, which I think is enough. But that's mostly because I believe the features you mentioned are already coming with Seasons.
The trailer showed sims singing together (in the New Years scene,) and kids can make homemade holiday crafts. I suspect they're similar to the school projects in the Parenthood gamepack. So I'd be very surprised if gingerbread houses and caroling aren't already a thing.
Australia Day is a holiday.
So is the Queen's Birthday.
Also, what you call a 'vacation', we call a holiday.
A Monarch's Birthday holiday celebration pack would be kinda cool.
High tea
Bunting
Sponge cake
Retro style dances
Host a street party
Kissing under the mistletoe is in the Season ep - it was in the trailer.
In this game I doubt they'd ever do Christmas Carolers - or if they were possible then perhaps that too is in Seasons. Don't forget you've only seen a snipet of the pack. I would at least expect people to wait and see what actually is coming first. You also are lucky to finally get a decorating tree seeing we've only been asking for one since at least Sims 2.

How much gameplay do you expect in a stuff pack? Generally, we'd get two gameplay items so I don't see why anyone would expect much from a stuff pack anyway. It would be mostly 'stuff,' like the free Holiday pack.
I wouldn't call it "garbage" -- we've gotten some really nice CAS items as freebees like tuxedos for men and boys. And decor always comes in useful for public venues; I could see using the fancy tree as decor in one of my shops, for example. I'm planning on building a set of seasonal shops that I can switch out at the beginning of each season, selling seasonal produce for planting and seasonal appropriate items). Considering the price (free) there are good items there. I hope they continue to update the pack with more items to help celebrate our own holidays, the way we got the Diwali items last autumn.
And according to the blog looks like kids will be able to make cards (maybe other crafts) and the trailer showed kissing under the mistletoe so those are covered. But between Seasons content and hopefully continued updating of the Holiday Celebration Pack, we should be doing fine for decor items that we wouldn't need a supplemental SP.
