cream cheese can be freezed
but the flavor may change
because it will no longer be creamy.
it'll separate a little & be grainy...

"...the higher the fat content in dairy products, the better they freeze. milk products that are under 40% butterfat will separate, but heavy cream does well. you can freeze butter with no texture changes, but remember, fat can go rancid even in a freezer, so never keep it for more than two months....
"...freezing does change the consistency of most cheeses, making it more mealy and crumbly..."
"...softer cheeses such as cream or cottage cheese do not freeze well at all, although surprisingly, most cheesecakes will do fine in the freezer...."

for this reason, it is best to use frozen cheese for cooking only.... freezing soft cheeses is best avoided altogether, if possible. cream cheese, for example, gets both watery and grainy in texture...."

"...cream cheese is a fresh cheese, along with products such as cottage cheese and quark. fresh cheeses have the shortest storage life of all cheeses...
...fresh cheeses ideally should be consumed before the 'best before' date on the package - typically two or three weeks from the date of manufacture - but they can last longer if properly stored...
...cream cheese can also be frozen....although the taste does not change, the texture will be adversely affected by freezing because of the high moisture content of fresh cheeses...."
