I met my aunt for the first time this summer. She invited me out to her town, paid for my hotel and everything. I really enjoyed her company. What is a polite way to ask her if I can come visit her for my winter break?

Just tell her what a fun time u had and ask her could u come during the winter break to spend some quality time with her. but dont let her pay for everything u pay for some or all of the trip and bring her a nice present for christmas time and let her know she is your favorite aunt and companionship and u may be surprised at how wonderful that sounds...

"Hi Aunt Millie. I wanted to thank you for the fun time we had this summer. It was really great meeting you and I would love to remain in touch with you and see you again. I have very little free time, some of which is over my winter break from ____ to ____. Would you be free for a visit some time during that time? If so, I would like to visit. If not, we can do it another time."

"Hi Aunt So and So!! I really enjoyed my visit to see you this past summer, and would like to come out again over the Christmas break. Can you suggest a reasonable hotel for me? And I hope we can spend some time together as well, if you will be in town December XX thru December XX. I'd really love to see you again."
DO NOT assume that she will foot the bill for you again! Be prepared to pay your own way

Tell her you are going on break and would like to visit her and the area where she lives. Just come out and ask "does your offer to have me stay with you still stand?" If yes, then fine. If no, then ask if there are any good inexpensive hotels in the area as you can't afford anything too high priced. She may come around and remember her offer. Good luck.

What a great idea!
If you are uncertain about your aunt's feelings on this visit, you might break the ice gently.
Writing a notecard with sincere thanks for the previous gifted visit to her town shows appreciation and sincerity. Once you have shown your gratitude, you should include the joy you shared together on that visit and mention that you look forward to another visit with her. Mention that you would like to see her on one of your breaks from school if it is convenient.
Stay in touch with her monthly, to keep the relationship alive. After you establish a family tie with her, you will find that you are more of a blessing to her than she is to you. She will probably look forward to hearing from you so write her about your progress at school every 1st of the month. After the regular correspondance, she will look forward to seeing you in person.

I'm sure she would love for you to visit her. She's family! Just ask her if she's doing anything during the time you were thinking about visiting.
However, don't expect her to pay your way for you. I'm sure she'll take care of some of your expenses, but it's not appropriate to expect her to pay your entire way. Have enough money to cover your basic expenses and you should be fine.

Hi Jason,
How do you feel about us getting together this Christmas, I'd enjoy your company, or do you have other plans? Think about it and let me know next time we talk. Add, I would be happy to share expenses.
Question asked. Get out clause supplied. Hence no pressure! ;)
Good Luck...

tell her you would like to visit her again but this time offer to pay for your own hotel bill and food. this leaves it to her to offer to pay for your visit.
