Can Cinnabons Be Frozen?
The answer to this question is yes, you can freeze Cinnabons.
If you’re looking to store Cinnabons long-term or don’t want them to go stale too quickly, then freezing them is a viable option.
When packed and stored properly, Cinnabons technically can last indefinitely in the freezer. However, you are going to want to eat them before that time (preferably within 30 days), so they’re at their peak freshness.
Cinnabon themselves highlighted storage and freezing of their cinnamon rolls with a Twitter post back in 2013.
