I had my radiator and holes replaced. I started my car today to warm it up and the antifreeze had ran out. This is the same problem, I had when I first replaced the radiator. What do you think the problem is?

I am assuming "holes" is hoses? The coolant is leaking out somewhere, if there is not a big puddle on the floor then it is burning it or leaking internally.
Check the oil for coolant. If leaking internally, then head gasket, cracked head cracked block. If internal the engine is at risk for washed bearings and an overhaul.
If you have a puddle of coolant under the car you will have to trace the origin of the leak.
