If you're using fresh ingredients, you should be able to store this for up to a week or two without any issues. As long as you store it in the fridge and keep it in an airtight container.
Can you freeze cranberry feta dip?
I wouldn't. Since there is so much cream cheese in this recipe, you're running the risk that it's not going to freeze well. You can try, but just know that when it unthaws, it might have a different texture than you're looking for.

Pita bread or toasted pita bread is also a great option that provides substance and flavor, too.
