Any good freezer should be able to "coast" for 12 hours without too much swing in temperature.

Chest freezers are much more likely to be in basements or unheated garages then fridges, so I wouldn't worry about it to much, if you are worried about it tho look up the specs on it and see if there is a ambient temp range that it's designed to work in.
