What is the freezing temperature of apple cider? (No, surprisingly enough, I'm *not* trying for the obvious side-effect, I'm trying to find a way to store cider for the feast overnight when my fridge is already going to be full of chicken and garlic sauce and whatnot.)

I would be very surprized if a gallon jug of cider were to freeze solid over a single night at >20degF. The low is not expected to be so low. Leaving them out should be fine.

However the failure mode is for the jug to rupture, so for ultimate safety you might want to park them in a basement. If you have a cellar door, the hatch kind, between basement and outside, those can be ideal places to stow such things; putting them at the top of the stairs will keep them at ground level so you don't have to schlep them up and down stairs, but probably keep them firmly above freezing.
