The Friends reunion is the TV-nostalgia gift that keeps on giving. Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, and Lisa Kudrow all hung out for the Fourth of July holiday. That’s right! Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe don’t need a pre-taped NBC reunion to spend quality time together!

“Happy 4th! xoxo,” Cox wrote above the photo of the three of them.

Laura Dern also showed up for the celebrations:

Cox loves to celebrate her friendship with her Friends co-stars on her Instagram page. For Aniston’s birthday in February, she posted the following sweet message:

“Happy Birthday Jenny Louise! We’ve known each other so long I don’t even remember why I call you that. I love you ! ♥️♥️”

“I feel like we can pick up right where we left off, and no time’s passed,” Kudrow told People for their cover story surrounding the May 27 premiere of the reunion. “We’re connected no matter what.”

Cox added: “I was flooded with 10 years of irreplaceable memories.”

In a May 2020 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Cox said she had been binge-watching Friends because she didn’t remember any of the “fun times” from the series.

“I started watching, bingeing it,” she said. “It’s really good, it turns out. The Thanksgiving episodes are my favorite.” She spoke about the fact that the reunion, which was originally slated for March 2020 (ahem, bad timing), had been pushed.

She promised she would finish the next nine seasons (at the time she’d only watched one) before the reunion actually happened.

As we know now, the Friends reunion did happen. ELLE.com’s Lauren Puckett-Pope, who reviewed the special, said though it was fun, there were some moments that could have been better used on time with the cast members instead of gimmicky celebrity moments.

“The problem with Friends: The Reunion is that it takes a spectacular opportunity for clarity and squanders it on celebrity fashion shows and Lady Gaga’s (admittedly remarkable) pipes,” she wrote. “The best moments of the special are when the actors are given breathing room. When they finally have the opportunity to sit and reflect on what, precisely, Friends was, and how it transformed them, that’s when we get a faint sniff of something meaningful. We get one when LeBlanc remarks on the time he watched helicopters circle their homes on live television. We get another when Aniston admits Friends set her jaw-dropping fame into motion. We get another when Perry reveals he would break into sweats and convulsions whenever the live audience wouldn’t laugh at his jokes.”
