It's possible, but I doubt you will see JFK-SXM get down to the price point of the $1075 JFK-SKB fares. FYI, there is V bucket available (the lowest fare class) for the SXM-JFK flight on 12/25. 12/25, not surprisingly, is a very slow travel demand day and the airlines tend to open up inventory on those flights compared to other dates around the holidays.
This is standard for routes like JFK-SXM which have a good number of absurdly wealthy New Yorkers traveling on a set schedule who might just buy in advance anyway. If they don't sell the seats they'll drop the price eventually, but not this far out.
