Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to impede the movements of your foes. As an action, you can present your holy symbol. Every creature of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, a creature takes 4d6 cold damage and is restrained until the end of your next turn. A creature immune to cold damage automatically succeeds on its saving throw, and a creature with resistance to cold damage makes the saving throw with advantage. On a successful save, a a creature that is neither resistant nor immune to cold damage has its movement speed reduced by 5 feet.

Arctic Acolyte

Starting at 6th level, you gain resistance to cold damage. If you have resistance to cold damage from your race, you instead gain resistance to fire damage.

Divine Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with freezing energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 cold damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Hailstorm Hierarch

Starting at 17th level, you are immune to cold damage.

Additionally, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage rolls of cleric spells you cast of 1st level or higher that deal cold damage.

Finally, your spells and Domain features which deal cold damage deal half damage to creatures immune to cold damage.
