Since Freezing is a potion effect, fire should be handled in a similar manner as the Burning status effect.
Corresponding potions could also be introduced. Potion of Burning would use Fire Charge as the key ingredient, and Potion of Freezing might use some kind of frost crystal, found in caves below snowy biomes.
Since in 1.19, the cold, temperate, and hot biome distinctions were introduced, the mentioned effects could be utilized to make the environment feel more distinct. For example, Freezing would be applied to a player that decided to go ice swimming or got caught in the snowfall without proper preparation (e.g. warm meals, proper clothing, and a nearby heat source such as lava or campfire).
The Burning status could be applied while wandering in a hot climate during the day, perhaps even during a new weather event – Drought exclusive to this type of biomes. Factors that could reduce the heat could include staying in the shadows, headgear, fire protection enchantment, drinking water bottles, and a suggested new food source – Ice Cubes (Ice Block drop).
