Attention, Stars Hollow enthusiasts and coffee addicts: Lorelai Gilmore and Michel Gerard (a.k.a. Lauren Graham and Yanic Truesdale) just had a reunion that will make you happier than a cup of Luke’s Diner coffee on a Monday morning!
Yanic, the king of sarcasm and spa treatments, hopped on Instagram Monday (December 23) to bless us with photographic proof of his festive meet-up with Lauren, the queen of witty comebacks and an unnatural ability to eat junk food without repercussions.
“We don’t get to see each other often enough @laurengraham, but when we do, it’s always a treat,” wrote Yanic, 54, making it sound like he and Lauren are rare Pokémon that occasionally appear during the holidays. “Hoping you get to see your loved ones this week. Happy holidays ❤️”
The selfie, featuring their megawatt smiles, includes a bonus Christmas tree in the background, officially confirming that holiday cheer and a Gilmore Girls reunion are all we need to survive the chaos of December.
For the uninitiated (seriously, where have you been?), Lauren and Yanic were part of the iconic WB-turned-CW hit Gilmore Girls, which ran from 2000 to 2007. They played Lorelai, the fast-talking coffee-fueled single mom, and Michel, the sassy and perpetually annoyed concierge who would rather hug a porcupine than deal with the inn’s guests.
The duo reprised their roles for Netflix’s 2017 revival Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, which left fans simultaneously delighted and yelling, “But WHO is the baby daddy?!” at their screens. (Thanks for that cliffhanger, Amy Sherman-Palladino.)
If this heartwarming reunion has you craving some witty banter, quirky small-town antics, and way too much coffee, you can stream Gilmore Girls now on Netflix or Hulu. Because honestly, what better way to spend the holidays than revisiting Stars Hollow and dreaming of a world where your biggest problem is how to politely refuse Taylor Doose’s latest town meeting agenda?
So here’s to Lorelai, Michel, and a holiday selfie that’s as delightful as an oversized pop-tart breakfast. 🎄❤️
