'Sweat' on a cup is caused by condensation of moisture on the air on a cold surface. Cold causes the air to lose its ability to hold as much moisture. Since coffee is hot, it is increasing the ability of the air to hold moisture. You will only get the sweat on a cold drink. And the air in your house in winter is very dry, so there is not much to condense on cold items.

Why does iced coffee sweat on a hot day?

The air contains moisture (or water vapour) in varying amounts, depending on the humidity. A iced coffee - or anything else that is icy cold - has a temperature that is a lot colder than the surrounding air on a hot day.When hot air hits the side of a cup of iced coffee, it reduces the temperature of the air. When this occurs, the water vapour in the air condenses, forming the "sweat" (or water droplets) on the side of the cup.
