During winter in the northern or Southern Hemisphere, the Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees further back from the sun, so as the Earth rotates, anywhere on the winter hemisphere of the globe will experience more time in darkness than in daylight. Also during the winter, because we're tilted further back from the sun, it never gets very high above the horizon - even at noon.
The time it will get dark in winter is based on your latitude, for example in Houston, Texas, at 30 degrees N, the sun sets around 5pm and it is completely dark at around 6.10pm. Further north (in the UK for example) it starts getting dark before 4pm in the winter and even further north at the Arctic Circle, the sun never rises meaning that it is stays pretty dark all day long!

In winter, the Earth's axis is tilted away from the sun in the Northern Hemisphere, resulting in shorter daylight hours and longer nights. This tilt causes the sun to set earlier, leading to darkness setting in earlier in the evening.
