Walmart has brought back some of the beloved Gilmore Girls stars for a nostalgic holiday commercial, reuniting Lauren Graham (Lorelai), Scott Patterson (Luke), and Sean Gunn (Kirk) in the iconic setting of Stars Hollow. In the ad, Kirk drops off a Walmart package at Luke’s Diner, and when Lorelai arrives to get coffee, Luke surprises her with a Keurig machine, joking that she’s been “drinking him out of business.”
Lauren shared her thoughts on returning to Stars Hollow, noting the surreal feeling of revisiting such a familiar place with the same characters. She mentioned the fun of having Mae Whitman, her TV daughter from Parenthood, visit with her baby on set. Lauren also mused about where Lorelai and Luke might be now, imagining that they are likely still doing the same things—running the inn, with Lorelai visiting Luke’s Diner for her daily coffee or using the new Keurig.
Scott reflected on the appeal of these characters, emphasizing that their charm lies in their consistency, as they don’t change much over time. The commercial captures the essence of these iconic characters and offers fans a delightful trip down memory lane.
