The day we’ve all been secretly hoping would come since Gilmore Girls aired its final episode in 2007. The television gods have smiled upon us favorably and November 25th we will be blessed with 360 minutes of brand new Rory and Lorelai greatness once again. Of course we’ll have to brush up on some favorite episodes first, re-familiarize ourselves with Stars Hollow, Luke’s Diner, the Dragonfly Inn, and everything in-between. So whether you’re binging the old season’s to bring back all those wonderful memories or you’re bingeing all 360 hours of new content on November 25th, you simply MUST party it up with your “super cool party people” in proper Gilmore Girls fashion. And there are some things you’ll need.

1. Chinese Takeout… and Pizza

Yes, both. Because both of these wonderfully unhealthy foods are of course girls night staples in the Gilmore household, and when you can’t decide? Just get both of course. Gilmore Girls new content is something worth celebrating!

2. Coffee.

In most situations where you’re bingeing a tv show, most likely at night, I would encourage decaf. But for Gilmore Girls? Rules be damned! Lorelai would look at you with shame in her eyes seeing you drinking imposter coffee. And coffee is a necessity for any true Gilmore girl.

3. Something repping your Dean/Jess/Logan favoritism.

Be it a t-shirt, aggressive sign, or cute Etsy mug, you need some way to tell the world what team you’re on. Of course if you’re Team worst-boyfriend-ever Dean might I suggest just not showing up to the party?

You heard me… Besides we all know Rory will never choose Dean in this amazing reboot right?

4. NO CELL PHONES

And some signs as a reminder is not only a great way to keep you and your friends immersed in the night and unplugged for a bit, but is also a great way to pay homage to Luke’s diner and it’s very crotchety “no phone’s” policy.

Sidenote: isn’t it crazy now to think of a diner that wouldn’t allow cell phones? Maybe it’s just that we’re infinitely more attached to our phones than we were when Gilmore Girls first premiered… Or maybe Luke is just the crotchety old man we know and love.

5. Popcorn french fries and any kind of candy you can think of.

Yes we’re back to the unhealthy food… But can you blame me? I don’t know how those Gilmore’s kept themselves looking so great because it certainly wasn’t through diet and exercise. So once you're done with your pizza and Chinese (not actually done of course, because you'll need leftovers for when you decide to binge this again tomorrow) a Gilmore binge night-in would involve lots of popcorn, french fries (what better way to pay homage to best friend Lane Kim than eating what her mother not-so-lovingly referred to as “the devil’s starchy fingers”), and any kind of movie theater candy (in jumbo size) you can think of, so so should yours!

So dive in! You super cool party people deserve junk food and a caffeine rush and to argue endlessly about your opinions on Rory’s love life! Afterall, you only see a Gilmore Girls reboot once. Well until you re-watch it endlessly, wishing it was a full reinstatement of the show that is…
