It is really nice that lichess makes it possible for everybody to get a chance playing a grand master.
There are many young talents playing on lichess who are not titled players yet. Why not organizing a qualification event the day before a grand master plays lichess in which the first five players can win a game with the grand master. These games could be played at the beginning of the "Lichess plays..." event. That would be interesting to watch.
I understand that lichess is against any kind of discrimination so the qualification event could be open to all players without a title, all those who are not allowed to play the titled arena. I would simply expect that young players would focus on that chance and beat the older contestants.
