I'm not sure how much time the people at the back of the cabin got with their drinks before landing, but he also told pax to just hold onto them if they wanted as they prepared for landing.
That's great! I fly this route fairly frequently and 50% of the time there's absolutely no service inflight (and oftentimes no PDBs on the ground either). Recently an FA told me the flight was "1 minute too short" for serving drinks in F! (ironically, flight time for that particular EWR-IAD flight was 52 minutes - one of the longer flights I've had for this segment).
