Should i let all faucets (hot and cold water and the kitchen and bathroom) drip overnight? or can i get away with just turning on the kitchen on drip mode and leave the bathroom alone?

Why do you expect any of them to freeze? Is the space around them going to drop below freezing? Has the heat gone out?

You may want to keep your cabinet doors open too.

Depends on how your pipes run.
Basically, anything against an outside wall, should be left dripping.
Doesn't need to be much. A single drop, every second or two, is plenty, unless you're getting into near-zero weather.
