However, I also know that there are some periods of time when there is no award availability at all, at any level. Does anyone know if Christmas and New Years get any saver awards released right at 331 days out? We have some flexibility with dates of travel and destinations.
Thank you,

Xmas & New Years is not an inherently busy time to travel between the US and Europe as long as you can avoid the weekends. You should have no problem finding 4 sAAver seats as long as you can be flexible. And definitely not all seats are released right at 331 days, the opposite actually. You just need to keep checking, might be January, April, August, anyone's guess.
That said, you didn't mention if you're looking for coach or business? Finding 4 seats in business will be exponentially harder to impossible, but coach is completely do-able.
