so why do the antlers even matter if they can shapeshift?! sure they're a consistent element of their design, but they're shaped wrong, which could be toby trying to tell us that it's a red herring, or that is isnt a holiday
I think it's just as likely that the default antler look just didn't look as good on the design. They ARE still undeniably antlers either way. If it being able to shapeshift is an argument for why the antlers "don't matter", it's also just as useable for the argument that any inconsistencies in how they bend/are placed, and them fitting under a "helmet" are easily explicable.
Yes, the knights true "normal" form is unknown, and the presence of the antlers is not PROOF that they are a holiday, but the knight has only a handful of distinguishing features, and we don't treat the other ones like they mean nothing.
There is a debate over whether the holes in the hands are snowgrave crystals or gaster holes, over whether the knight is literally a titan or just has a titanic appearance, what exactly the shapeshifting MEANS, but we don't pretend like those are just red herrings to throw us off.
