"Let me close on a more serious note," Biden says, noting that this is his last holiday season as president. "It's been the honor of my life." (Peach and Blossom are still gobbling softly in the background during this "serious" part.)

Biden shares that this year's turkeys — Peach and Blossom — are named after the Delaware state flower, the Peach Blossom. This explains the move away from food related names that we've seen in years past.

Peach and Blossom are getting ready to make their pardon debuts. "These are beautiful turkeys — I mean, just specimens to behold."

Key takeaways from the 2023 White House Turkey Pardon: - Liberty AND Bell got official pardons — a break from tradition! - It's also Biden's 81st birthday, and he joked he's younger than the 76-year-old pardoning tradition - So. Many. Gobbles.

Unclear exactly which bird is on the pardoning table, but he's gobbling with delight.
