Are we allowed to ask about recipes that aren't cake related on here? lol Does anyone know how you are supposed to serve cream puffs as far as chilled, room temp, frozen?? How far in advance can you make them?

I make mine, cool and pull away the soft pieces in the center, put them back in the oven to crisp a bit inside, cool again and then put them in a large zip lock freezer bag and freeze them. I have made them as far ahead as a week, I suppose you could make them even earlier, I just have a household freezer compartment so don't have a lot of spare room. I serve them at room temperature or chilled, it depends on what I use as filling. I love them in miniature size filled with chicken salad.

Are you asking if you can fill them at 1:00 and serve them at 6:00? It would depend on the type of filling you use but I would be concerned about them getting soggy or soft and chewy. I wouldn't fill them more than one hour or so before serving if they have a mayonnaise base, or if they are dessert puffs with a cream base.
