Any decent deals anywhere? (would like somewhere European if possible).

Unfortunately your window is the same window as everyone else's, and that Dec 22-Jan 3 window is rarely anything but expensive, to anywhere.
Air Transat to London or Manchester would be the best place to hope for anything close to decent to Europe. The further you can get from that crowded window that everyone else is trying to escape through, the better. Their Jan/Feb flights are actually down to $568 roundtrip after taxes at the moment.
There's a New Year's one for $753 if that's part of your window...

Here's a realistic look at what it costs to get through the crowded window to Europe with the others...
So uncrowded window = $568, while crowded window = $852
That's exactly 1.5X more for the crowded window. I find you can use that exact ratio for all travel around the holidays.
Take a good price for any other time of year, and multiply it by 1.5, and that will be a 'good price for the holidays'.
