the best year in my life vs the best year of my life

Both phrases are grammatically correct, but the second is preferred. 'The best year of my life' is the more common and idiomatic expression when referring to a specific year that was particularly enjoyable or memorable. On the other hand, 'the best year in my life' could be used in a more poetic or creative context, but it is less common in everyday language.
