If you did the same workout in the winter and the summer, would you burn more calories in the summer since it is warmer outside?

No. Same exercise gets same results. In fact your body would not need as many calories to keep up its internal temperature on the hot days. However since exercising in hot weather you would be sweating like a pig you would lose more water. That water loss is what makes you imagine the exercise was more effective in summer.

A Calorie is simply one unit of energy that is always consumed at a constant rate. So the more energy you put into an exercise, the more calories you will burn. Temperature has nothing to do with it except when your body needs to burn calories to stay warm.

I would think you would burn more in the winter, because your body burns more calories just staying warm.

Yes, it depends more on what activity you are doing and for how long.
