The shortest day of the year, in temperate and tropical climates, is the "winter solstice"; December 21 in the northern hemisphere, June 21 in the Southern Hemisphere. (These dates may vary a day either way, depending on the cycle of leap years.)
In the Arctic or Antarctic, the "shortest day" doesn't apply; there will be days when the Sun does not rise at all. If the Sun is within a couple of degrees of the horizon, you can see the glow of sunrise - but sometimes that's ALL you see. A little glow on the horizon around noon, and then dark again.

Why 22 December is shortest day?
Daylight hours on the winter solstice are shorter than the rest of the year because of the Earths rotational tilt. That tilt faces the northern hemisphere away from the sun. This causes the apparent position of the sun throughout the day to be the furthest south during the year and daylight hours to shorten. At the same time of the year the southern hemisphere is experiencing the exact opposite, the longest daylight hours of the year.

Will the northern hemisphere have daylight?
The northern hemisphere will have daylight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, different parts of the hemisphere receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. This results in longer daylight hours during summer and shorter daylight hours during winter in the northern hemisphere.
