At another big company we had a code freeze as well, but we found a bug in a new feature that we released. We were not allowed to fix the bug, so we were reverting binaries of the data processing pipeline. The problem is that the data was already created and not backwards compatible, so we just created new problems... strict code freeze together with a huge feature push is always a nightmare.

My big company has code freezes and no planned deploys around holidays... Bug fixes are allowed, just need deviations.

That's why you should first have a feature freeze, and after a while go into a code freeze.

  It took weeks for the bug to be surfaced. I was working with conversions, which is rare and noisy data. The problem is that most policies are not adjusted for the subteams.
