Yes, sour cream can go in the freezer, but it is one of those foods where texture matters. It usually becomes thinner, grainier, or separated after it thaws.
Can you freeze sour cream?
TL;DR
Yes. Sour cream can be frozen, but thawed sour cream is best for cooking instead of spooning fresh.

Freeze sour cream in a sealed container with a little room at the top. Smaller portions are easier because you can thaw only what you need.
When it thaws, stir it well. Even with stirring, it may not look creamy enough for tacos or baked potatoes, but it can still work in muffins, casseroles, soups, and sauces.
If appearance and smooth texture matter, fresh sour cream is the safer choice.
Sour cream can be frozen, but plan to use it in cooked or baked recipes after thawing.
