Hey Vickie,
If you can pot them up now and grow them under lights/or in a South window (or both)---that would be the best thing to do. In plastic baggies in the refrigerator, they would dry out and injure the root system of the seedlings. Also, once the seed cap is shed, they need light for photosynthesis to produce the food they would need to continue growth. They grow to that point using food stored in the seeds. However, once that is gone, they need green leaves to carry on.
The seeds sprout in the bag if there is too much moisture. In the future: if there is visible moisture in them when you get them--turn them out onto clean typing (inkjet) paper and let them dry an hour or two. Then, when you put them back in the baggie to go back in the refrig---put a dry piece of that same paper measuring approx. 1.5" x 3" in the bag with them. The paper will sop up any more water the seeds give off, but then will give off that moisture as the environment dries. That will keep the seeds in good shape for months, and improve germination when it comes time to plant.
Hope this helps---Good luck in this promising New Year.
