Folger's Coffee "Peter Comes Home For Christmas" Full Length 

What a wholesome commercial. I hope nobody tries to update it thirty years later and introduce weird incestuous undertones.

The Mom had a 30 year old son and a 5 year old daughter. Good for her

Yeah, this version makes a lot more sense than the creepy new one.

Now with 60% more heartwarming and 90% less incestuous undertones. XP

My mom and I used to have a "contest" to see who got to see the commercial first. Since she has passed away it gives me the feeling of her when I need it most. I have been watching this commercial most of my life and it still makes me cry!

Such a wholesome and heartwarming commercial. We need more of this in our lives.

I don't care how old this commercial is. I still turn into a puddle when Peter's mother sees that he's home. The greatest Christmas gift will always be family.

This classic Christmas Folgers commercial with Peter has become the longest running commercial in advertising history spanning from 1985 to 1998. No controversies here.

It wasn't Christmas until I saw this every year! :) memories.

to me it is not Christmas with out this ad. I don't even drink Folger's coffee.

Significantly less incest subtext than the newer commercial...

This commercial is so much better than Folger's coffee ever was. Truly heartwarming though.

This takes me back to my childhood in the 80s, my fave Christmas comercial ever. I was sad they stopped running it years back because it played well into the 90s.

Oh My God, this is my favorite commercial of all time. I can't even explain it. There is no other commercial from my childhood, or entire life for that matter, that I can recall with such clarity and emotion. There's just something about it. It makes me cry. Greatest Commercial Ever.

These Christmas Commercials bring back so many memories.

I always get teary eyed when Peter's mom steps off the stairs and sees Peter standing there.

The best commercial - EVER!!! I used to wait for it every Thanksgiving morning while making breakfast for my family. It kicked off the holiday season for me, not to mention made me smile on those holidays that I couldn't make it back home myself. It was always comforting somehow to know that if I couldn't make it home, that Peter could. It's nice to hear they are updating it but I hope they will run it with the classic, too. May Peter always make it home for the holidays! ♥

Ahh, simpler times. They sure don't make commercials like this anymore. Warm and fuzzy feelings.

one of the best commercials ever

This was--and still is--one of my favorites!

I absolutely love this commercial, i'm not in the Holiday spirit until seeing it.

Best Christmas commercial EVER! ❤❤❤

I always love when they play this commercial, it takes me back to being a happy kid

And I love the red and green coffee cans! ❤☕💚

They need to bring this back during Christmas, just like they did with the M&Ms see Santa commercial and the Hershey kisses Christmas bells commercial.. ❤

I first saw this during the 1984 Holiday Season! It showed annually into the ‘90s!

I love this commercial. I always wanted a brother and this resonated with me. I always had a fantasy that I had a brother out there who would come home for me.

I never forgot this commercial love it.

Much better than the 2009 version. This one's actually heartwarming in a sense.

My favorite commercial of all time! Always makes me want a cup of coffee right after watching.

My favorite Christmas commercial ever. To me, the Christmas season didn't start until 'Peter' came home!

I don't know what it is about this commercial, but ever since I was a kid I always loved this commercial. Maybe because my brother was in college at this time in Ohio and it made me think of him when he would be coming home on break.

Omg! I remember seeing this commercial on tv when I was a kid. Idk why but it was always 1 of my favorites. Btw, I love the description (Younger sister or little girl, who led by her older brother, develops a coffee sniffing habit at a early age) Lol.

All these decades and i`ll never forget this.

Its the holidays once again and I always remember this commercial around this time of the year from when I was a kid. I'm in my 40's now. The 80's, an innocent time, best decade to be a kid.

I love this commercial and the accompanying instrumentals.

This is one of my favorite commercials!!!

This commercial always leaves me choked up. I remember seeing this every year. I think I even saw it played a year or two ago too - I was happy to see they stuck with a classic.

One of the best holiday commercials! Would love it if they could reunite in some way.

Just thought about this commercial after seeing the 2018 one. Glad it's on RU-vid.

Good times early 90's along with the Christmas specials like Garfield Christmas and a muppet family Christmas

Peter's looking good for having done eighteen months in jail.

1982 was the date of this commercial. This by far as has been my favorite Christmas Commercial. My first child came home from college today for Christmas Break, and I played him this video. Thank you. I always wanted to do this when my first one came back after his first semester. But somehow, "Peter's commercial was more touching". For one, I live in South Texas - so no snow. And my son goes to school 90 miles away. Oh well, almost same feeling.

i love this commercial so much

This is the one commercial I could watch all year long, for decades. They just don't make them like this anymore.

My favorite Christmas commercial...I want a time machine to take me back to the 80s!

Just bought my annual Folgers for the holidays! Wishing you all the best!

This has got to be my very favorite commercial of all time--it was even when I was a kid! I really identified with the little girl, since the age difference is about the same as these two, and he was in the Navy. I felt the same way she did when my brother came home, regardless of the season! Mike would have done the same thing, and it would have woken my folks up too! Thank you so much for posting this--it always gives me a lift!

I love this commercial. It's one of my all-time favorites.

This is my all time favorite Christmas commercial. Thank you for posting it. I remember looking forward to seeing this commercial every Christmas as a child. I have not seen it on in years. You have made this day a whole lot brighter!!

what makes the commercial is the actress who plays the mom, when she sees him for the first time her reaction is very believable and heart felt. Nice casting.

I always loved this commercial & looked forward to it every year!

This is probably the greatest Christmas commercial ever. They played this for years

Great commercial, I love the old 80's commercials.

Thank you for this, I remember seeing this commercial when I was younger and Peter always reminded me of my brothers coming home from college.

This is hands down the best commercial ever made.

This commercial I have probaly seen a thousand times during christmas. Its a shame they stopped playing after its been so long.

Of all the hundreds of thousands of commercials I’ve seen year round, THIS one has always been my FAVORITE. I just never get tired of seeing a young adult, I would estimate, thirteen or fourteen years firstborn, comes home presumably from college on Christmas morning to his little overjoyed sister jumping into his arms almost as soon as he’s in the door, and instead of just sitting down and wait for the rest to get up, or pound on their doors, he heats up a Christmas present you can’t just buy.💝💝💝 I remember first seeing this when I was five or six, I cannot believe it’s older. But I guess the picture quality and the decorum would suggest an 80s vibe.

Thanks for uploading! I still remember this commercial- love it

Why can’t they bring this one back for Christmas ?❤

I grew up to this comercial in the 80s and always wanted to be Peter. I've been in the Army for 20yrs now and have done this a couple of times since.❤

This is much better than that incestuous newer commercial.

That was a really good commercial. Nobody makes commercial like these anymore.

This is my favorite commercial ever. Whoever came up with this is a genius. Gives me chills every time

Every year on Christmas morning I watch this video it was one of my mother's favorite videos she passed away in 2008 every year since I watch this video

Just watched a video of 80s Christmas commercials and was hoping to see this one but it wasn’t shown. Thanks for the upload!

One of the best Christmas commercials EVER!

I love the banned commercial they did where Peter's dad gets a flashback to Vietnam, runs down the stairs with his sidearm, and blows Peter away. Then he runs up stairs yelling to his wife that "Charlie is down! Charlie is down!" End scene.

I remember this one. Been looking for it for years!

Ahh...now THIS meant Christmas was coming when I was a kid! Classic...thanks for the memories!

I always loved this commercial, and miss it. Thanks so much for posting it!

This commercial is actually very heartwarming. Especially when his mom comes down to hug him, the transitioning of the music made it feel like an 80’s Christmas family movie. Better than the newer one they have where the tension between the sister and brother is pretty obvious lol.

Finding out the original had the sister be like 5 suddenly makes the scripting of the adaptation make so much more sense.

(Dec. 2019) I STILL get emotional over this ad

Thank you for putting this one online! I mentioned it and all people could remember was the /other/ one.

I remember this as a teenager in the late 70s...and Peter has amazing dimples!

I just love this commercial it reminds me of the love my older brother and I had when I was a little girl.

This commercial is absolutely unforgettable. I looked forward to seeing it every year when I was living at home with my family . It really kicked off the Holiday season. Thank you UTube❤

I wish this commercial was the one they still played instead of the new one! It was one I always looked for around this time of year!

Yep, this one was one of my favorites as a young kid...brings back alot of memories...thanks.

I like the brief glimpse of the snow-covered VW Beetle slowly pulling away from the house at the start of the advertisement!

How does this classic not have more views

Still my favorite classic Christmas commercial.

I remember this commercial when I was little watching it with my mom. I asked her if I can drink coffee she said only when you become an adult. Now I can't stop drinking coffee. Love this commercial though 💖

I just saw the "new" Folgers Christmas commercial the other day. I DIDNT LIKE IT!!! Why cant they just at least air the older commercials just for the holidays? They bring back soooo many sentimental memories!!

Awe it’s that time of year again where we all look at the old Christmas commercials that were actually good.

I've used this video and references to this video so many times on Facebook for a laugh that it's unreal. So heartfelt. So touching. It almost makes me damp eyed to see that glimmer of love and completion to her little heart in his mother's eyes.. sort of.

I love this coffee commercial I use to watch it many years ago.

I really love this commercial because they’ve been playing this commercial for the past five years from the late 80s up until the early 90s because I remember the scene when a young man had just came home and wanted to have a fresh cuppa coffee during that snow day because I remember seeing a five year old girl in this ad many years ago and then somewhere in the early 90s, I remember seeing that girl as a teenager and a Hawaiian punch, fruit drink, commercial or as I think.

I remember this commercial from the early to mid 80s. Man the nostalgia

I was probably 6 years old when the commercial first aired, and there isn't another commercial from my childhood that I remember better than this one. Thx for posting.

Had to watch this one today merry Christmas and happy holidays

My cups empty, time to get another cup of coffee!

I always loves this ad. I always waited to hear this ad in the mornings before I would get of bed to get ready for school. I likes the Folgers jingle in all the ads.

I saw this commercial as a child. It made me want to have a son and make sure he went to college, seriously. My son is a graduate today because of Folgers coffee. 😂

Peter was on Winter break from the University. He is a physician now.

this video is the wifi password at disjointed weed store

I remember this one. I like it much better than the new.

10% content and 90% emotion.. this ad has become the study material for many Visual Communication students around the globe. This ad reflects how strong a message could be delivered through visual medium.

Correct! Greg's been in a ton of stuff since, but nothing really that sticks out in the mind like this beloved classic.
