5 Best Gilmore Girls Episodes With Cozy Autumn Vibes, Ranked

If there was only one show to binge on fall nights, there's no doubt most viewers would choose Gilmore Girls. The seven-season dramedy, which aired from 2000 to 2007, follows the story of mother and daughter Lorelai and Rory Gilmore living in the charmingly quaint New England town and exudes the major feel-good vibes we all crave as summer ends.

Let's face it, when the leaves begin to fall from the trees, nothing beats curling into a cozy blanket, lighting a few candles, baking pumpkin bread, sipping a cup of coffee and watching Gilmore Girls.

If you're feeling picky this year and want to get right in the fall spirit and start rewatching with the most cozy episodes, here is the best of the best for you. The list is ranked by IMDb score.

S5E10 But Not as Cute as Pushkin (8.2/10)

September is often associated with the start of the academic year, and nothing beats the image of an old school in its autumnal beauty. In this episode, Rory is already a student at Yale University and hosts a Chilton girl who is thinking about applying.

As Rory shows the girl around Yale, you can't help but fall in love with the atmosphere of the episode. Cozy sweaters, lots of coffee and books are a sweet bonus.

S1E7 Kiss and Tell (8.4/10)

Let's go back to Season 1, which is the most comfortable for many viewers. Although Kiss and Tell is about Rory's first kiss with Dean and Lorelai's attempts to deal with it, it is the most fall-blooming episode of the season.

The town of Stars Hollow is decorated for the upcoming Fall Festival, and we even see Rory and her best friend Lane in Pilgrim costumes.

S3E8 Let the Games Begin (8.4/10)

In this episode, Rory goes to a Yale alumni reunion with Richard, is charmed by it, and decides to apply there. While the episode features some family tension, it is filled with welcoming academic vibes, pumpkin decorations, and sentimental themes.

S3E9 A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving (8.4/10)

What would fall be without Thanksgiving? And this episode is probably the most Thanksgiving-ish ever. You see, in it, the Gilmore girls have not one, but four celebrations of the holiday. Lots of beautiful and homey moments.

S3E7 They Shoot Gilmores, Don't They? (8.9/10)

Of course, the iconic episode with the annual Stars Hollow dance marathon ended up on our list. It is not only perfectly autumnal, but also a favorite episode for many fans. Rory's storyline with her boyfriends gives the episode a perfect mix of drama and funny moments. A total emotional roller coaster.
