“E.T.” Returns In Touching Holiday Commercial
It's hard to believe but it has been 37 years since E.T. has visited this planet.
The lovable extra-terrestrial from the 1982 classic from Steven Spielberg has reunited with Elliott, actor Henry Thomas, in a new commercial from Comcast Xfinity.

You may have seen the 4-minute commercial that aired on Thanksgiving.
Elliott introduces E.T. to his wife and kids, as well as his life as an adult and parent.
They play in the snow, watch movies together, eat cupcakes with Reese’s Pieces (E.T.’s favorite), and even go on a bike ride across the moon. But then, it’s time for E.T. to go back home — and he breaks our hearts. AGAIN.
Get the tissues ready.
