'treats from freezer?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'options to include cold' is the wordplay.
'options' becomes 'choices' ('choice' can be a synonym of 'option').
'to include' indicates putting letters inside.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'choices' placed around 'c' is 'CHOC-ICES'.
