We were definitely having this problem last year. If my memory serves correctly, they actually adjusted the odds of picking an item because so few people were getting anything. I hope they do so again this year!
Part of the reason I didn't re-subscribe to my VIP membership was because I was getting no sponsorship tiles in my boxes. I was a gold level VIP but for the last month, I didn't win a single exclusive piece of clothing from the sponsorships. I will save my money for better odds!
My Christmas boxes have been a mix. I've gotten a few palettes with a single Christmas item in it and quite a few more of no Christmas items. I have been picking all the VIP tiles now that I'm no longer subscribed though! I did manage to get two new Christmas items, the slippers and the antlers. So I can't complain too much I suppose.
well these are my boxes so far, some are a hit and miss, haha.
Day 1:
Day 2: I didn't open the game so that i can open the box
Day 3:
Day 4:
Day 5:
Day 6: I didn't open the game so that i can open the box Day 7: didn't open the game so that i can open the box Day 8:
oh and I cancelled my VIP subscription as well, @isabeau 's comment started to make more and more sense and as someone else said we get the items from the storylines in an update now so they're not as exclusive as they try to make them out to be, so i'll wait until another update to get these "exclusive" items from now on.

Same. Funny how that works, isn't it? ? Not going back to subscribing though because the moment I do they'll stop appearing in the daily gift boxes.

Exactly! I don't know why they decided to make these "exclusive" items available to every player (thus making them not so exclusive) but I'm not complaining. I'll save real money every month and I get to pick and choose which items I'll purchase rather than receiving all of them as part of the VIP storylines. I much prefer this anyway because I've received some items I'm not too fond of from previous VIP storylines and they sit unused in my closet, collecting dust. And back to the topic of this thread I've seen one (!) holiday item in my giftboxes this far. Not really happy about that but oh well.
Btw, hope neither of you mind but I only quoted the parts of both your comments I was responding to as I didn't want to make my post super long.
Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I am waiting to see what the next update brings us for the VIP subscription, but that'll definitely decide if I continue or not. As I've said before, I understand that as bronze I'm getting a lower tiered subscription, but I feel like a dog getting a bone, it's just not sustainable. Plus as noted by @whitepony, the items have become more or less meh and not really remarkable. Check out this VIP dress and a weekend dress
Obv different, but truth be told, I don't really need both. In the end, as of right now, I could save my money and buy a SMC every other month, get more than one item, and get Kstars back on it.
I actually won some boots today by completing the tiles, but I am still one away from like 9 and two away from 6 others. And again no holiday item.

Since the gift boxes started, I have seen exactly one Christmas item in all of my palettes. Luckily I picked it or I would be even saltier. But seriously, this is ridiculous. I don't have all of last year's items, so that's not the problem. Beyond frustrating.
I don't have all the items from last year either, and none of the new ones. I've seen the ice skates twice since the holiday boxes started and that's it (of course I didn't pick them either time ). I've just resigned myself to the fact that holiday items are a bust this year, oh well
Does anyone know why the holiday items aren't showing up in my boxes? I'm super disappointed, I haven't seen any! EDIT: After reading some comments, I should add that I got 3 or 4 items last year. This year, I have not seen any new Christmas items in my boxes... so weird! I really hope they fix this.
I've won 4 christmas items back to back in 3 days by picking the exact same 2 boxes. Idk if it's a coincidence but I'm grateful! I got the boots, heels from last year, and both hairs(antlers and last years!) ?? my luck has been so poor recently I needed this stroke of good luck!

What kind of holiday boxes are that? Getting really tired of the disappointment.
The same kind that I'm getting I could understand if items were in the pallets and I didn't pick them (per usual) but so many people not even seeing ANY items in their pallets seems pretty strange I didn't even win all the items from last year so lots I could be winning if they would just show up!
Finally saw the second festive item (well, technically items) since this year's boxes started - and of course I didn't pick it!! Oh well, fingers crossed for tomorrow...and I hope this is the start of more items showing up for everyone!
In the few rare times when it poped up Christmas items in my palette, it was items only from last year. Then a got the purse, shoes and the red christmas tree pullover, now the red/white outfit and hair. I think i got all the old items, but the weird part is that i never saw a single new item in my palette... Do you have to have the last year items first and after that you can win the new ones? Maybe from now on i will have a chance.

Bad news, it didn't give me a video to watch so I could open up a 2nd box so I didn't get it.

But I was sad that I didn't manage to pick the antler hair, I really wanted that. Still happy that I finally won an item though!

Also this is the first time I saw two special items within the same set.
