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"

Well I stand corrected, the newer one is definitely a tribute to the old commercial considering it seems to have been a bit beloved. Except the newer one is also beloved by white brothers and sisters everywhere.
