Both current seasonal events are pretty fun--nothing like a bit of mind-numbing Swedish Fish-Fishing, or a relaxing flight around a Hawaii-esque volcano--but each holds different interests and levels of interactivity. Which are you more partial to?

I'll do the ship grind once a day and doffing for winter currency, besides that it's pretty much over for me.

The only thing I do is the Ice Race and the Jet Pack course to get the ship, otherwise I have no interest in either.
Overall though, I voted for the Summer event because the ship is more varied. The Winter is always a Breen Ship which is getting a little old. Still, it's a free ship and I am happy to get it.

Thank you, I have tried that along with the no hands on keys and jump.
My Biggest problem is that I have severe arthritis that makes doing many key combos on the keyboard difficult at best . Heh, My little three year old Nephew the other day , asked me why my fingers where all curled up, and I told him...
"When I was a kid, I was picking my nose and a bugger bit it." He laughed and has kept his fingers away from his nose for a week now.
My fleet is having the best PARTY EVER and our Xmas Party is a tradition.

Yeah, pretty much this. In Winter, you can get a costume piece or weapon with the rewards from activities from a single cycle, easily. Try to get anything with the meager Favors that you collected during a single cycle on Risa.
I like them both, but Winter feels much less grindy.
I'll get this out of the way, I preferred both better before some major changes were made to their respective environments; Risa's day/night cycle is sorely missed, and the Winter Event was much more relaxing an experience (even with all the constant snow-based combat) when everything was designed more like a ski lodge than a Frozen-esque ice-scape.
That said, both are a welcome distraction from the rest of the game. No "only ship in range" situations, no war story or yet another copy/paste species division to keep track of, no constant threat of intra-galactic war... The Summer event lets you relax in a simpler, lore-friendly way with a great environment to explore and fun little gimmicks to play with. The Winter event is a no holds barred wacky extravaganza with a light dusting of Christmas cheer, completely removed from the game.
I think, weighing in on all factors, I have to give the edge to the Winter Event, if only by virtue of requiring less overall grind to get most of the goodies, but that's a minuscule advantage given how little I mind the Risa grind.
I just wish it didn't take so long to earn the ships. As short as the required activities are, there's only so many days I can do exactly the same thing over and over and over and over before I get tired of it...

One of my biggest wishes would be to have Aloha shirts finally available to all my crew members. If I could have that and those little white hats, I could finally have my McHale's Navy themed crew! And what better place to RP such shenanigans than Risa! XD "Find Gruber's still in the jungle ..."
And knowing is half the battle!

I will say though, Risa gets points for being available all year long (Just not the event itself), and the ships are soooo much better than the boring old "Breen ship that looks like a hunk of a Borg cube". Blech. Next year we need something new.

However the loss of the night and day cycle did reduce the enjoyment I had from the Summer event a bit but still not enough to stop me from preferring summer over winter, I also wish I actually bothered to do the summer event during my first year on this game as it had the Nandi, I also don't really care much for the Vorgon ships.
I can't wait until the summer event for 2019 in the hopes that they actually do T6 Risian ships after the last Vorgon ship in 2018, but I hope it's a T6 Risian Corvette then.
