Are these honeysuckle seed pods?

This honeysuckle (I think) grows through the big holly bush. How do I care for this. Should I do nothing and cut it back next year when I shape the holly? These two  seem to have merged together

    I agree with @nutcutlet … those look like sprigs of privet with privet berries.

    Thankyou everyone for your replies I think @nutcutlet and @Dovefromabove are spot on! My other honeysuckle has red berries so I should have known 🤪
