If you decorate holiday cookies, do ever freeze baked cookies, then decorate later for Christmas?

REALLY GOOD decorating is a lot of work if your making dozens. So am trying to do what I can ahead of time, so will not be overwhelmed by loads of baking at the last minute, lol.
So …. if packed in a container in the freezer, will the cookies taste okay?
