Just the opposite. The earth reaches its closest point to the sun
around January 2 or 3 every year.
December through February
During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the earth is tilted by its axis so the Northern Hemisphere is away from the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the sun. During winter in the Southern Hemisphere, the earth axis is tilted the other way, so that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is farther away.
The northern hemisphere experiences winter in December because it is farther from the sun than the southern hemisphere which turn experiences summer during the same time.

Winter-
When the sun is farther north of the equator, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
In the Northern Hemisphere.
The southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun when it is winter in the northern hemisphere. This is because Earth's axis is tilted, causing the opposite hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight during winter in the northern hemisphere.
The earth isn't perfectly straight up and down. It leans on an axis. So in the Northern Hemisphere between May-August tilts towards the sun and the Southern Hemisphere tilts away from the sun. This causes summer in the Northern Hemisphere because being closer to the sun helps to increase the temperature on Earth and the southern hemisphere experieces winter due to being farther from the sun. The opposite is true for winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
because of the tilt of the earth
The northern hemisphere is pointed farthest away from the sun during the winter solstice, which occurs around December 21st each year. At this time, the tilt of the Earth's axis is such that the northern hemisphere receives the least direct sunlight, resulting in the shortest day and longest night of the year. This positioning marks the official start of winter in the northern hemisphere.
