It is a result of static current. When you rub woolen clothes, they generate current that is trapped in the fibers.
When it comes in contact with a person, the person acts like a conductor and the current passes from fibers to the person.

when there is a rubbing with wollen clothes, wollen clothes get charged with one kind of electricity and our body with the opposite kind. two types of electricity neutralize each other and produce a particular type of twitching sound which is we called electric current.

static electricity.... due to the rubbing of fabric against body. when we touch someone current flows to return to equilibrium.

In winter the conditions are just right for charges to accumulate.
There is enough charges accumulated so you can feel them as those get discharge on contact.
