Next Wednesday, November 8, Walmart shoppers are expected to wear pink.
The retail giant released its Black Friday promotion video this week, featuring Mean Girls casts Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, and Lacey Chabert reprising their roles as the adult versions of Cady Heron, Karen Smith, and Gretchen Wieners, respectively.
Also present are co-stars Daniel Franzese (Damian Leigh) and Rajiv Surendra (Kevin Gnapoor), as well as Missy Elliot, who played the role of North Shore's gym teacher.
Particularly absent in the mini-reunion ad was a fourth member of the group called The Plastics - Regina George, played by Rachel McAdams.
A source told Page Six that McAdams "didn't want to do" the Walmart Mean Girls reunion.
"They were all offered it. But the three of them [Lohan, Seyfried, and Chabert] loved being together for their reunion," the insider said. "They had a great time talking about being moms, and it was definitely a loss not having Rachel there."
Despite McAdams's absence, many comments on social media congratulated Walmart's marketing team for the video, with some saying it was "so fetch," a term used by Chabert in the film as Gretchen Wieners.

The Plastics, Nearly 20 Years Later
In the ad, The Plastics have since moved forward with their lives as mothers and professionals.
"At North Shore, some things never change," Cady Heron narrated, who was now the school's guidance counselor in the Mean Girls lore. "On Wednesdays we still wear pink."
Smith has since entered the media industry as a weather and magazine reporter, while Wieners has since become a stage mom just like her own mother in the film, with one of her daughters becoming one of the members of the Gen Z version of her own clique.
One-liners and scenes from the 2004 film also got their way into the ad, such as Heron using the word "grool" (a portmanteau of "great" and "cool") and Wieners reprising the term "fetch" while her daughter making the iconic rebuke instead of George.
Also present in the scene was a Gen Z remake of The Plastics' dance to the tune of the Christmas song "Jingle Bell Rock."
"It was so nice being back together after all these years," Lohan said in the New York Post. "It was great catching up with everyone."
