Yes, a palm can be sprayed -- under certain conditions -- with water during freezing temperatures.
Specifically, the trees in question (Arecaceae family) are susceptible to tissue damage and dehydration during freezes and frosts. The palm caregiver can spray the plant with anti-transpirants and copper fungicides -- as well as water the soil -- before predicted freezes and frosts. During freezes and frosts, it is helpful to run sprinklers -- non-stop between sunset and sunrise -- since moving water does not freeze and the moisture will keep the plant well-hydrated and prevent the damage from tissues drying up, freezing and thawing.
