We'll be travelling Christmas Eve/Christmas Day but I've been requested to smoke a turkey.

What would be the best method to cool/transport/reheat the next day? I thought about cooling it whole and putting it in the oven on a low temp to heat up but am wondering if it would perhaps be better to slice, cool, then reheat that way. Thoughts?

Definitely carve them reheat. Place in a pan with about 1/4 cup water or apple juice to keep moisture in there. Cover with Saran Wrap and heat. Saran Wrap can be used in ovens at a certain temp (google to find out), I think around 200 degrees. Using foil can cause the top of the turkey in the pan to overheat. Saran Wrap is the way to go. Adding the little bit of water will steam it while it heats.

I wouldn't reheat above internal 130 degrees.

Update: Ended up slicing it up, putting it in a pan, removing the grease from the drippings, added a little water and poured that into the bottom of the pan. On Christmas Day put it in the oven at 250 degrees covered with foil and in about 30 minutes it was warm and ready to go.
