I think it would be a great idea. And ultimate end game to an event. If u start 2 days before it ends then I guess u miss out. Can't please everybody all the time.
I think a collectable after completing a themed campaign is brilliant.
It's something to aim for. The Valentine one right now was a damp squib of an end - why not give the flower shop as the final prize!
New players miss out on tons of stuff already. Fat Tony, Kang, Cool Homer, Santa Homer etc etc.
I think eventually EA will release limited time items, characters etc for purchase with donuts of course. I don't see why they would pass up on more potential money because something was limited. Eventually, new players will want a chance to get that stuff too. So I definitely see them adding them back for donuts.

Why haven't they already then? You should say that a bit a louder for those monkeys to hear

I don't think so. The exclusivity with limited time items come with get it now or never. I don't think they would sell a lot of Shaunas unless she came as limited. "Better get her while I can than to regret not geting her". Also making limited time items available again would upset regulars.
With the Christmas event, most items did not come as limited. Instead the once "free" content remained but with some ridiculous premium prices...
Maybe just thinking like achievements
and when you achieve an achievement
could be money/doughnuts and characters
like building so many decorations say 1000 or 2000 would be an achievement which gives you two doughnuts
so it gives more incentive to play more

It seems ridiculous for new players to be unable to get certain key characters just because they haven't been playing long. Which is why I suspect that they will eventually have a way to gain these characters, either by waiting the full year and having these holiday events again (with MORE content, but old content) or as I said having them for premium purchase (eventually).
Some reasons why we haven't seen these items re-added is because a) it hasn't been long enough to be fair to regulars as you said and b) they haven't had time considering their other development challenges that keep popping up.

I wouldn't put any of the limited time characters or costumes on the "key character" list. To be honest you can come along way without any premium content.
Kang, Fat Tony, Homer Santa, Mr Plow and Shauna, to name a few, were all limited time. I only got Fat Tony, and sure I like having him around but I wouldn't cry myself to sleep if he was missing.

I think It's a brilliant idea, but as you say it would mean newbies wouldn't have a chance, it would have to be distributed fair firstly.
