That will depend upon where in the world you are and which winter solstice you mean. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is in December. What you would see at sunrise will differ depending on where in the world you are. People see different constellations in different parts of the world. In the southern hemisphere, the winter solstice is in June. Again, depending on where you are in the world, you will see different things. So there is no simple answer to your question.

Why are the sunrise and sunset reversal times out of sync with the winter solstice?
The sunrise and sunset reversal times are out of sync with the winter solstice due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. During the winter solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, causing shorter days and longer nights. The reversal of these times happens gradually as the Earth continues its orbit around the sun, leading to earlier sunsets and later sunrises during winter.
