If you use a bit of powdered sugar to sweeten it, the cornstarch in it will act as a
stabilizer so it should last until morning. If you live near a Trader Joe's, buy your
heavy whipping cream there, since it has a higher fat content than most the grocery
store offerings, which makes it more stable.
Personally, I'd stick my bowl and whisk in the freezer the night before and wake up 5
minutes early to whip it fresh though.
Cool whip is not the same as whipped cream. Heck, it isn't even a dairy product. So,
what works with cool whip will not work with whipped cream
