That usually is a factor in tornado development but more is needed. When warm and cold air collide this is usually called a front. Thunderstorms can develop along these fronts, but most never produce tornadoes.
In order to produce a tornado a storm must rotate. This rotation usually comes from something called wind shear.
Even then, most storms like this don't produces tornadoes. Why some do and some don't is the subject of ongoing research.

∙ 10y agoYes, tornadoes can and do occur in winter, though that is generally the least active season for tornadoes. Those that do occur tend to be more dangerous, as they generally move faster than tornadoes at other times of year, giving people less time to take cover.

∙ 12y agoTornadoes are more likely to form in hot air as it holds more energy that can fuel the thunderstorms that produce tornadoes.

Can a tornado occur during winter?
Yes. Tornadoes Winter is generally the month with the fewest tornadoes, but winter tornadoes, some even as strong as F5, have occurred. At this time of year they are generally limited to warm climates such as the southern U.S. Winter tornadoes can be more dangerous than others because they tend to move faster, giving less time to warn people.
Where are tornadoes least likely to happen?
Tornadoes are least like to spawn in very cold or dry climates, where the atmosphere rarely has enough energy to produce the powerful thunderstorms needed for tornadoes.
Can tornadoes occur all year or only in the spring or winter?
They can any time, but rarely in the winter or late fall. The most common is in the spring
