Other events (Plants vs. Zombies 2)
This is a list of minor events that have appeared in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
Progressive
The first Progressive Piñata Parties started on April 15, 2015. It was an event sponsored by the insurance company Progressive. For the event, all Piñatas and prize screens were colored with the main colors of the company; white, blue and orange. Also, Señor Piñata was replaced with a big, blue letter "P" piñata. For the duration of the event, all the money prizes were doubled and the first replay of every party has been made free. An animated redesign of Flo, a fictional character appearing in more than 100 commercials for Progressive Insurance and portrayed by the actress Stephanie Courtney, also made an appearance on the party banner and prize screen, posing and smiling to the screen, thus advertising Progressive Insurance.

Improve-mint
Improve-mint is an event in Plants vs. Zombies 2 where every Power Mint and their seed packets are for sale in the store. Daily mint rewards are x2 and they have halved cooldown. It is celebrated once every 16 months for 1 week, but it has no piñata parties.
The 1st Improve-mint event was on September 2018, when not all Power Mints were fully released and only Fila-mint, Reinforce-mint, Bombard-mint, Arma-mint, Contain-mint, Spear-mint, Pepper-mint and Enchant-mint were available.
The 2nd Improve-mint event was on January 2020, and that time all released Power Mints were available, except Enlighten-mint, because she was being offered in an Arena season.
The 3rd Improve-mint event lasted from May 24, 2021 to June 2, 2021; this time, all 14 Power Mints were available, including Enlighten-mint (though her piñata included 10 of her seed packets and costed 20 gems, due to being the only Power Mint that has never costed mints).

Heroes Event
The Heroes Event is an event that went by in 2016, from November 2nd, and showcased Piñata Parties based on Plants vs. Zombies Heroes. Each Piñata Party started with a comedic cutscene involving Green Shadow, Solar Flare, Wall-Knight, Super Brainz, Impfinity, or Electric Boogaloo.
Three new costumes based on Plant Heroes were added. Peashooter, Sunflower, and Wall-nut were also intended to wear limited time costumes based on Green Shadow, Solar Flare and Wall-Knight respectively for the duration of the event; however due to an ongoing programming error regarding their limited time costumes, the said costumes weren't actually displayed
