Freezing is a liquid-to-solid phase transition. A moving phase boundary releases latent heat; its rate is constrained by heat transport and the Stefan condition. In a solution the liquidus depends on composition, so being below the pure solvent's melting temperature does not imply that the solution must freeze.
