So i need suggestions on to use something that won't freeze or at least not freeze as much for winter and able to keep hydrated for a long ride in winter?

Are there such a things as thermal camel baks, suggestions please and very much welcome

Yes there are thermal Camelbaks as well as thermal kits for Camelbaks. There are even winter Camelbaks. They aren't perfect and the tubes will freeze eventually but they take longer than a bare tube. If you blow the water back into the bag, you'll increase the amount of time before the water freezes. Drinking more often also helps.
