12 'Gilmore Girls Fall' Activities As Perfect As Luke's Coffee

Watch The Best 'Gilmore Girls' Fall Episodes

First and foremost, the best way to have a Gilmore Girls fall is to rewatch all your favorite autumn episodes from the series. As Lorelai and Rory themselves say about The Donna Reed Show: "It's a lifestyle. It's a religion."

There are plenty to pick from (22 at least), but my favorite will always be the episode where Rory and Lorelai go to four separate Thanksgiving dinners, and manage to eat a ton of food at every single one. But considering the cozy spirit of the show is perfectly captured in the pilot, that episode is always a good idea, too.

Grab Some Cozy Fall Decor

If you're looking to outfit your home with some brand new fall decor, look no further than these pieces from Target. They're quirky, they're cozy, and they're exactly the kind of things Rory and Lorelai would obsess over. I mean, tell me a 2024 version of Rory wouldn't put this fall floral cloche in her office!

Grab A Dragonfly Inn-cense Burner

Speaking of decor, I simply cannot get over this Dragonfly Inn incense burner. When I said you could add some Gilmore Girls magic into your life, I meant it. You can also choose a burner that looks like a mug of Luke's coffee, and I can't decide which one I love more.

Plan An Epic 'Gilmore Girls' (Stars) Hallow-een Group Costume

Halloween is coming up fast, and if you're still in need of a costume, choose one of these super easy (and recognizable) TV characters. You probably have a lot of these pieces in your closet already, and if not, a quick trip to a thrift store or Target will help you out.

Channel Your Inner Rory Gilmore With A White Cable Knit Sweater

If you already have your Halloween costume planned out (anyone else going as Glinda from the new Wicked movie?), then add Rory's iconic white sweater into your fall wardrobe. It goes with literally everything: trousers, denim skirt, jeans, leather skirt. The sky's the limit!

Watch One Of These Cozy Comfort Movies For 'Gilmore Girls' Fans

During Gilmore Girls Fall, movie night needs to be all about those warm and fuzzy feelings. Any rom-com or fall movie that leaves you feeling happier at the end than when you pressed play is the way to go here. Rye Lane and Elizabethtown are some of my favorite picks.

...Or Pick A Heartwarming TV Show

One thing that always helps keep me unwind is watching an episode of a favorite TV show. Whether it's during my lunch break or before bed, tuning into a story for 30 to 45 minutes is the perfect way to give my brain a break, especially when I've had a long day.

Pick Up Some Fall Books

But if you're more of a book lover, you might opt for any of these novels. Keeping a book with you at all times is so Rory-coded (remember the book she brought to her dance in season 1?), and these are all great additions to your personal library. The central themes? Family, romance, and small town living. (Hm, that sounds familiar).

Whip Up Some Delicious 'Gilmore Girls' Recipes

Rory and Lorelai manage to eat their way through giant pizzas and sugary cereal (plus a burger, donut, popcorn and Red Vines) without any problem. Every episode of Gilmore Girls makes us hungrier than the last, and these recipes will satisfy all your cravings. Rory and Lorelai would never cook them, but they'd definitely eat them.

Put Together A DIY Coffee Bar

Delicious coffee is already a must-have all autumn long, but the only thing that's better than sipping a fall coffee drink is putting together a fall coffee bar. It looks super cute and keeps all your coffee essentials in one place. And the next time you host a Gilmore Girls watch party, your guests will feel like they're at Luke's!

Travel To See The Best Fall Foliage

The move from pastel flowers in the spring and greenery in the summer to fall's crisp and vibrant leaves really gets us in the mood for every pumpkin spice latte we can get our hands on. Living in Connecticut, Rory and Lorelai are surrounded by the most beautiful fall scenes, so Gilmore Girls Fall definitely warrants a roadtrip. Stowe, Vermont, Newport, Rhode Island, and Washington, Connecticut are all great places to explore!
