I haven't tracked this closely, but I'd say my PDB rate has been pretty high for my Thanksgiving and Christmas travel. I think 100% on SkyWest regional flights; they'll ask you what you want before you've even got your butt down in your seat. Really good experiences with them lately.
Mainline going between CLT and DFW a few times lately has been more hit or miss, but I think better than 50%.

12/31:
CLT-MSY: Full PDB
CHS-CLT on Eagle/PSA: No PDB despite sitting for 22 minutes with door open waiting for CLT flow. No inflight beverage service for First, but did pass snack basket, and both F/As stood in front galley eating snacks and drinking soda for about 25 minutes.
CLT-BNA: Full PDB
BNA-CLT: Full PDB
CLT-BNA-CLT (to save $300 versus just flying CHS-CLT) great crew to finish the year... ex US who did full beverage service to entire plane and continuous service addressed by name in First.

21st December 2023 DFW to Palm Springs flight no 2709 PDB of ginger ale, tonic water or soda water offered by the very friendly and hard working FA in 1st. Great service throughout the flight. I dont think she took even a minute break as she constantly checked on all pax. A real credit to AA.
