Hoda Kotb Brought to Tears by Savannah Guthrie’s Heartfelt Christmas Gift

The emotional moment occurred during Kotb’s final holiday broadcast on 'Today' before her departure in January 2025.

Hoda Kotb became emotional during the 'Today' show’s Secret Santa gift exchange when Savannah Guthrie presented her with a meaningful gift.
The gift included wishing candles and a framed quote written in Guthrie’s handwriting, featuring lyrics from the song 'May You Find a Light' by Josh Garrels.
Guthrie explained that the quote was a personal gesture, referencing moments of support during Kotb’s life transitions.
Kotb, who announced her departure from 'Today' earlier this year, will host her final show on January 10, 2025, after 26 years with NBC.
Craig Melvin has been named as Kotb’s replacement, while Jenna Bush Hager will co-host with rotating guest anchors on 'Today with Hoda and Jenna.'
