Many do- but some such as the Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) lose their needles during Winter. It would be best to look up the species that you have concerns about to see if it loses its needles.

(Technically every tree eventually loses its leaves/needles regardless if they are evergreen or not- new leaves replace old ones as they fall out so it isn't really noticed by a casual observer... But that's just a technicality.)
