Smashable Challenges are shown as "Collectibles" in the festival playlist. Below is an explanation of how it looked in Series 1.
In Series 1, there is one Smashable Challenge in Summer Season. The title is "Collectibles" where you have to smash 100 Cactus (good to do this while going for the smashing 500 Cactus achievement).
Below is an example image of what a completed Smashable Challenge looks like - Picture is taken from Season 1 Summer.

But I will add in the guide that it is unlikely that these will count.
We can already see the remaining weeks/seasons of Series 1. There is only 1 smashable event in the whole Series (month).
The Coming Soon section hints that there will be 2 smashable events in Series 2 (Snowman and presents) which will give us an additional 40%.
Reviewers who had early access will probably unlock this achievement first if they already made some progress during the prerelease window.
Due to this uncertainty I haven't added it to the solution itself.
Snowmen, christmas trees, candy canes and lanterns are all listed as things to smash for accolades so fingers crossed they all get their own week as the seasonal smashable.
Edit: previous comment asking about this got deleted
Edit: Never mind. Restarting the xbox seemed to get it to bump up to 40%.
If you have a chain ongoing or do something quickly before (e.g. hit a stone) the snowman skill is not shown and does not count. I ended up waiting for my skill chain to stop and then destroying the snowman while driving really slow to avoid any other skill popping.
I couldn't find a single one
If your tracker doesn't go up after, it's probably nothing.
Fingers crossed we open the festival playlist tomorrow and see 2 are coming in the 3 other seasons.

"Still, go to Horizon Festival Mexico, the main site, and some kind person has scattered the barrels all over the place. Simply drive around for a few minutes and smash them, and a trendy mask can be yours."
Today i did this week's collectables and got to 60%. As soon as i went back to the Hotwheels map, it went up again to 80%! So i just need 1 collectable now.
This is only the 2nd smashable type challenge I have seen as well so... 3 more to go.
For those trying to complete this, travel to the southwest side of the map. You're looking to drive between"club de opalo de Fuego" and "de otro mundo". These trophies stand pretty tall and are all over the golf course and near the houses.
Since we're closer to the holidays i expect a few more smashables to show up before the year's end, it shouldn't take long for more to show up.
If you start at 0%, it may even be possible to get the achievement at the end of the series by fast travelling to the Hotwheels map, which usually doubles your current progress on the tracker, unless they decide to fix this exploit.
Unfortunately, there weren't enough stars to get a total of 30. And smashing the same ones again after they respawned didn't add to the tracker.
When I drove around the, normal festival playlists appeared.
I then opened the game in offline mode, and smashed 3 goal posts. The collectible completed but when I went online it didn't increase %.
So either offline smashables don't count, or the offline/online smashable have the same ID and thus count as the same one
For this achievement, there was only one Smashable event in the entire of Series 1 (was in the Summer season). So these events do not take place every week, currently, only 1 in the 1st Series period.
There are accolades for doing stories + showcase remixes that are featured in the festival playlist and we haven't had a single one of either of them yet though so who knows? The way PG are being with this game we could get it in the next series or just as easily still be here in February waiting.

Looks like if you've done at least 1 smashable before starting hot wheels then it gives you credits for 2 events?
Anyone know when the next smashable event is?
Will update the solution if it's the case
Dynamicwolfnld, yes I'd see if anyone else does because I'm not 100% sure this is what made my tracker go up.
But if it's true, it would make this achievement much better.
Game then messed up somehow (or i did but can't see how?) and i lost a lot of progress where i now have no fast travel boards, no xp boards found, only have 700k and ~100 cars
This is the last achievement i need and i've done every collectable in the seasons and thought this weeks would pop the achievement (as it's been at 80% since the last one) - done the 10 bicycles which is now ticked in the festival playlist but tracker still at 80%
EDIT: I decided to see what the game thinks i've done and it shows i've only completed 4 smashables (80%) so looks like i need the game to acknowledge one more. Note that the game also says i've never scored more than 74pts in a series despite unlocking the MinMax achievement back in Series2 (and narrowly missing out getting it in S1 due to arcade connection issues)

Before we start make sure you have offline play enabled in your xbox app settings (On PC).
What we are going to do is play offline fallback seasons that have the smashable challenge in them from different months and then as soon as each challenge is complete we go back online while in-game, save the progress, then repeat with a different month. (The accolade tracker would probably track (I didn't really pin or look at the accolade while doing it, so I can't confirm) but the xbox app won't track the achievement progress until its done.
I've listed the challenges with the dates to go back to and where to find the smashables, but before we get to that you need to remember this process:
edit: please note that If you have any issues with the game not doing what it should in the steps listed below, take a look at what @Uomo Forzuto said in the comments about resetting the game to its "default" state then start over from step 1.
1 - Switch off your internet connection
2 - Go to windows settings and change the date to whichever you need for the challenge (dates listed below)
2 - Load the game, complete the challenge
3 - After the challenge is done and while you are still in the game, switch your internet back on (don't change the date from step 2 as yet, just put your internet back on)
4 - Wait for the game to take you back to the current season we are in in a few seconds after turning the internet connection back on.
5 - Do something noticeable in the game to know that your game has actually saved when you exit and log back on. Anything from changing cars to using up skill points. Lets say you changed your car from a ford to a ferrari and you exit. If you load up the game again and your car is a ford, it means that the progress wasn't saved, if its a ferrari then it has.
6 - If your progress has not saved, repeat the challenge. If it has saved, repeat steps 1 to 5 with different dates
7 - When you complete your last challenge you'll get the accolade for the 5 seasonal smashables but not the achievement, the achievement would pop almost instantly once you turn your internet back on. You'll need to restart your pc for it to show as complete on the gamebar app if it didn't update after popping.
The smashable challenges: (I've only listed 5 but they are probably more from other months)
10 February 2022: SMASH 3 GOALPOSTS
2 are found in Playa Azul, you'll have to smash the 2 and then fast travel away and back for it to respawn to get the third.

10 March 2022: SMASH 3 GOALPOSTS
See above challenge for details.
10 April 2022: SMASH 15 SNOWMEN
There are a lot in Mulege, but also on the beach of Playa Azul and on the top of the mountain, also many other locations but these are the ones that I know of.

20 April 2022: SMASH 15 GIFTS AT A HORIZON OUTPOST
This one is pretty easy, drive to any outpost and they'll be there.
5 May 2022: SMASH 3 GOALPOSTS
See details above.
If you want to skip the snowman or horizon outposts challenges, I'm sure changing to any month not listed here might give you the goalpost challenge.

For people trying to get this on consoles (idk if its really not possible to get it on consoles): you probably have "play anywhere" version so just download it on your pc and get this one achievement
For me accolade didn’t track but achievement popped after 5th offline smashable.
Dates for smashable challenges were also different, took a bit of messing with dates but sorted a really frustrating achievement
- There is only one version of the game, and it supports Play Anywhere. If you own "any" version (the only one), then you can also play it on PC. This is true for the Game Pass "version" as well.
- You either need to set your PC as your "offline" PC (similar to your "Home Xbox", you can only set this a limited number of times), or be online **when you launch the game**. So to get this achievement, you can start the game while online and switch to offline as soon as the splash videos start.
- I think the game tracks the offline series, the regular seriesand DLCs separately. I already had done 2 online and 1 offline smashables, but was stuck on a total of 3. After 2 ADDITIONAL offline smashable challenges completed, the next two would count (I was keeping a look at the accolade counter).
So this method DOES work, it's just possibly more involved than it should be. Time limited achievements are a PITA.
You can get one smashable in the "Fallback Season". However, I cannot get another season to load. If you change you date and time to an early date and launch the game with the internet on, but date and time changed, it will load you into a past season. However, whether you disconnect from the internet or not, the second you load into the map it will update to the current season.
1. You need to own the game (games pass doesn’t work)
2. You need to play on your “home Xbox” to allow offline playing
3. After disconnecting from the Ethernet cable/wifi you need to restart the console, that way the option to change the date is visible under configuration/System/Hour
4. After the challenge is complete when you connect back to the internet, it will change season but NOT TO THE CURRENT ONE, you need to make sure it changes again to the current one (the online tab on the menu should be enabled
For those of you struggling getting this to work I had the same issue as @the enski where the game was loading only a single (seemingly random) fallback season with just the one smashable challenge (it was the 3 posts for me) that didn't register anyway.
What I did was to just close the game, turn internet on, sync time and date so that it's the current one, reload the game, let it sync saves, load current season, etc, do something so that it saves the game then close and try again. Basically "resetting" the game status to what it would normally be.
Then I did exactly as the guide says. Step 3 and 4 are key here. I found out that if you don't re-sync the game by re-enabling internet whilst in game and letting the game take you back to the current season the whole process breaks up and you're by default stuck with that single random season, no matter which date you set. Unless you do the "reset" cycle as above.
I suggest keeping the accolade pinned to double check the smashable challenge registers. The achievement popped for me as soon as I re-synched the game after completing 5 smashables.
Hope it makes sense and good luck.

It turned out that I’ve been playing the game for about 3 months now, I have all the trophies except this one. I completed it 4/5, but new tests from this section have not appeared for three weeks now. So be careful!

We need to find one, then we go to the “online” tab, select a single game, knock down a piñata and rewind time.
This way the piñatas are restored instantly and we can quickly complete the challenge.
You can only do it if you are OFF NETWORK!!
