I am making 2 lasagnas for a New Years Day party. Do I bake the lasagna before freezing it, or do I just bake them fully on the day I am serving? Much thanks.

For the first time, this year I'm mixing up the stuffing (I always do a double recipe!) ahead of time and will freeze it until day before, will then put it into the fridge. I've already cut and to...
