      Fun fact: the sister in that commercial is played by the daughter of Star Trek character actor Jeffrey Combs.

      Wait - is that a SEQUEL to the one like 20 years ago?

      I know about it because I had recorded some show on VHS and watched it a million times (as kids do) and the OG Folgers Christmas commercial was one of the commercials.

      It was the same premise but the sister was a little kid and the brother was home from college IIRC.

        I’d chalk it up to common marketing strategies based on family around the holidays.

        That said, I really hope the one you’re talking about didn’t have the same sexual tension between the brother and sister. “I can excuse incest but I draw the line at pedophilia”
