I think it definitely is rolling the dice hoping for a last minute deal around the holidays.
After New Years *could* have a better shot of something coming up (certainly far better chances than something that involves over Christmas, or over New Year's Eve) but it's still taking a risk, for sure.
The best chance would likely be on Sunwing, they seem to be the ones most frequently dropping the price of their last minute flights to Mexico.
They just dropped their Cancun one (Nov 19-27) about 4 days before departure, down to $347. But then, you're also limited to whatever dates they fly to Cancun, and it looks like it's usually Friday to Saturdays, and you're looking for Monday to Monday.
So, definitely a pretty big gamble, considering you have the resort booked, and it's a defined date.
Inflexible dates and a definite location are the enemy of good last minute deals.
