Why is freon cold?

Freon itself if not cold. Freon can be used to cool things by compressing the gas and then letting it expand. When a gas expands, it cools down (for more information about that, look up the Ideal Gas Law). Freon is very effective for this purpose and because it is a gas with a high heat capacity. Any gas can cool thing in the same way, but Freon does it particularly well. Unfortunately it is what is called a CFC, which destroys ozone in the atmosphere.
