Are you going home for the holidays? Well, Lauren Graham, Scott Patterson and Sean Gunn went back to Stars Hollow for the festive season.
The stars of Gilmore Girls who played Lorelai Gilmore, Luke Danes and Kirk Gleason, respectively, reunited for a new Walmart holiday ad. This is the first time fans of the beloved show saw them on the screen together since the 2016 special miniseries Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
In the ad spot (below), Gunn is seen carrying a Walmart package across the iconic Stars Hollow town square and dropping the package off to Patterson at Luke’s Diner. Graham then greets Gunn as she enters the beloved eatery and tells Patterson in total Lorelai fashion, “Coffee, coffee, coffee please.”
“Coming right up,” Patterson responds as he whips out the Walmart package, which has a Keurig coffee machine inside (the perfect Lorelai gift, right?)
“You shouldn’t have,” Graham says as Patterson quips, “I had to, you’re drinking me out of business.”
The advertisement ends with the onscreen love interests looking up as the snow falls, given that winter and snow are two of Lorelai’s favorite things (smells like snow, huh?)
Graham, Patterson and Gunn starred on Gilmore Girls for seven seasons, from 2000-07. The show, also starring Alexis Bledel, Keiko Agena, Kelly Bishop, Melissa McCarthy and Yanic Truesdale, centered on the relationship between a thirtysomething single mother and her teen daughter living in the small fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut.
But winter isn’t the only season for Gilmore Girls as it’s proved to be a staple in the fall. Based on several years of streaming data, the WB/CW dramedy has gotten a significant boost in viewership every autumn since 2021, when Nielsen began issuing weekly top 10 lists of original and acquired streaming shows in the United States.
