Luke and Lorelai in the year 2024? Is it Christmas? It must be! Three fan-favorites from the hit 2000s showGilmore Girlsreunited after days and days of teasing on social media.This author’s original hunchwas correct in thinking that it would indeed be a Walmart commercial, reuniting the characters in a similar fashion as theMean Girlscommercials from last year. Walmart has now debuted a holiday commercial featuringLauren Graham, Scott Patterson,andSean Gunnreprising their roles as Lorelai Gilmore, Luke Danes, and Kirk Gleeson.
The commercial begins with Kirk delivering a Walmart branded package to Luke’s Diner,with the classic La-La’s starting up in the background(cue the tears!) Shortly after he drops it off to Luke, Lorelai comes in asking for “coffee, coffee, coffee!” Luke hands the box that Kirk just dropped off to her, and when Lorelai opens it, there’s a Keurig coffee maker inside. The teasing back and forth reveals that Luke got it for her because she’s “drinking him out of business.” The commercial ends, with Luke and Lorelai standing outside of Luke’s in the snow.

Another call-back toA Year in the LifeisLuke and Lorelaisporting wedding rings! The pair wed at the end of the four Netflix specials, thrilling longtime fans. When the commercial ends, Luke and Lorelai are standing outside in the falling snow,a beloved motiffound across the seven seasons of Gilmore Girls. Lorelai’s “I smell snow” is quoted often. One of the best Luke and Lorelai moments of Season 5 involves them standing outside in the snow in the middle of the night after Lorelai has another one of her “I smell snow” moment.Fall, wintertime, andGilmore Girlsare pretty much synonymous in memes, so it was really special to see them leaning into that once again.
