autoevolution's Celebration Month 22

One December a couple of years ago, at a time when the coronavirus pandemic was just beginning, we kicked off something called Celebration Month. It was our way of trying to get people’s minds off the nasty things happening by bringing forth great creations from the fields of land, sea, air and space vehicles.

2020 went away, the pandemic kind of burned itself out, and here we are now, in December 2022, once again trying to get our minds off another bad thing taking place in the world: the war in Ukraine. Even if only two nations are directly involved in the conflict, its repercussions spilled over and are affecting pretty much all of us, no matter where we are, and pretty much all industries out there, no matter what they are.

It’s unclear how much longer all of this will last, or how its effects will amplify. But just like back in 2020, this year will have its Christmas too, then 2023 will come, as usual, filled with hope and expectations of a better outcome.

With that in mind, this December we’re running a Celebration Month feature as well. As usual, we asked each of our editors to select a favorite topic and focus on that for the next four weeks. You can find the full list of who’s brewing what below.

We thank each and every one of you for being with us this year, and here's to a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
