As live events and activations make their return, we're bringing you even more inspiration for your own gatherings with our Cool Event Ideas of the Month column, where we round up some of the creative ideas we haven't had the chance to cover yet.
Our December 2022 roundup includes a futuristic, Avatar-inspired car concept from Mercedes-Benz; a carnival-inspired party celebrating Spotify's year-end wrap-ups; a gorgeous, greenery-filled brunch for Variety's annual Hitmakers list; an interactive pop-up for the new Whitney Houston biopic; and more.
