Lorelai and Luke forever.
“Gilmore Girls” stars Lauren Graham and Scott Patterson gave fans of the show a holiday treat by reuniting in a Walmart ad released Tuesday.
The 30-second video begins with Sean Gunn reprising his role as Kirk, who drops off a Walmart box at Luke’s diner in Stars Hallow.
Kirk leaves the diner and is briefly greeted by Lorelai, who walks in and asks Luke for “coffee, coffee, coffee, please.”
“Coming right up,” Luke says to Lorelai, as he hands her the Walmart box.
Lorelai, who has a famous coffee addiction, opens it and finds a Keurig inside.
“Luke! You shouldn’t have!” Lorelai says.
“I had to. You’re drinking me out of business,” Luke responds.
The ad ends with the couple standing in the snow as Lorelai holds the Walmart box.
Graham, 57, and Patterson, 66, teased their reunion on social media less than week before the ad came out.
“Back at #LukesDiner for something really special,” Patterson wrote alongside a photo of a coffee mug on the counter of Luke’s Diner, urging his followers to “tune in 12/3.”
On her Instagram Story, Graham posted a photo of a snow-dusted Stars Hollow street, located on the Warner Bros. studio lot in Burbank, Calif., writing, “I’ve got something brewing.”
The actors spoke to People about what it was like teaming up professionally again for their Walmart gig.
“It’s always a little surreal [returning to Stars Hollow], because we were back where we’ve been so many times,” Graham said.
“It was a particularly odd day for me because there’s just so much familiarity with that character and seeing Scott and being in that place,” the actress added.
Patterson, meanwhile, called Graham his “favorite scene partner of [his] entire career.”
“It was just wonderful to see her and work with her again and Sean as well,” Patterson said to People. “I’ll always cherish the time I got to spend with Lauren and act with her because she’s literally an icon. And that is just growing as the years go by.”
Graham and Patterson last shared the screen in the 2016 Netflix miniseries “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life,” where their characters get engaged. Lorelai’s daughter, Rory (Alexis Bledel), reveals that she’s pregnant in the final scene.
The original series aired on The CW (formerly The WB) from 2000 to 2007. It also starred Melissa McCarthy, Kelly Bishop, the late Edward Herrmann, Liza Weil, Jared Padalecki and Milo Ventimiglia.
In a recent interview with E! News, Graham explained that another “Gilmore Girls” reunion would need to make sense story-wise.
“At this point it’s the same what it would take that got us back together last time, which that it is a creative step forward, and that it would be giving fans what they want while honoring what we did already,” she said.
“And those are really hard things,” Graham added. “Those are sort of esoteric concepts to pin down.”
