Why is sodium chloride used to make freezing mixtures used by ice cream vendors?

Sodium Chloride when added to water helps reduce the freezing temperature of water, meaning that water will stay liquid at temperatures below it's actual freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius. Similarly, when sodium chloride is added to ice, the temperature of the mixture reduces rapidly and helps keep things cooler and ice creams are best when they're cold :) Hope this helps.
