Not the omicron surge we would expect based on the huge number of cases being reported in the media, and much smaller than the surges in ACM from alpha, delta and etc. Instead, it looks like less than 5% over expected deaths from all causes at omicron's peak on Dec. 11. There's usually a 2-week lag before all the data is reported and shows up in this graph, so it may look different in a few more weeks, but I doubt it. We shall see.
