The Winter Solstice occurs in the Northern Hemisphere

 The Winter Solstice occurs in the Northern Hemisphere around December 21st or 22nd each year, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year. It is during this time that the North Pole is tilted farthest away from the Sun.

Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, the Summer Solstice occurs around December 21st or 22nd, marking the longest day and shortest night of the year. This is when the South Pole is tilted closest to the Sun.

The solstices are opposite in the two hemispheres due to the axial tilt of the Earth. The Northern Hemisphere experiences winter during its Winter Solstice, while the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer during its Summer Solstice.
