Constellations are different in the winter for several reasons. A small reason is because the earth is in a different position around the sun. The sun then blocks some of the constellations we would normally see. Most of all, however, is the fact that the Earth tilts on it's axis. As the Earth enters winter, it tilts backwards on it's axis so that the northern hemisphere is farther from the sun. Think of it as tilting your head back slightly...you see a different view of the world around you.
