Yes, it really is a sequel to E.T. It was made by the cable company Xfinity as a Christmas commercial back in 2020, starring a fully grown Henry Thomas and E.T. himself. Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/52roM4-5GWs?si=RiTWXpoYg8BNNkrt

There’s even a “making of” video, as long as the short itself, also on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1ksutiH6Spw?si=O3Uez_NgluMkRp2w

And if you’d like to learn more about the rather remarkable career of Henry Thomas, up to and including his excellent work in most of Mike Flanagan’s big projects of late, check out his Wikipedia page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Thomas
