The Sun is closer to the Earth during the winter. The reason that it is so cold during the winter is that the Earth is tilted sideways, so the northern hemisphere (part) is tilted away from the Sun in the winter while the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun. During the summer, the northern hemisphere is tilted at the Sun and the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, that is why it is so warm during the summer (in the north), but cold in the southern hemisphere.
Just because the Earth is closer to the Sun during the north's winter, it isn't closer by much, so it will not get warmer on Earth.

During summer, that's why it's hotter as the earth is closest to the sun
