Most years no part of Antarctica stays above freezing for a full 24 hours no matter what time of year you are looking at and nearly all of Antarctica stays below freezing 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The highest temperature ever recorded at the South Pole was a frosty −12.3°C (9.9°F). Some areas near the coasts get a little warmer during the Southern Hemisphere summer with the highest temperatures occurring in January. Even so temperatures along the coast average slightly below freezing during January. McMurdo Station, on the edge of the Ross Sea only warms to a maximum of about -0.2 °C in January. Rothera Point, on the Antarctic Peninsula (about as far north as you can go from the South Pole and still be on the continent of Antarctica) actually can occasionally get above freezing in December and get up to as much as 5 °C for during some of the 24-hour-days in January.
