The shortest time of the year is the winter solstice, which happens at the end of December, the place of earth where you live is receiving the least amount of solar radiation (heat). With the decreasing solar radiation heating your area, it takes more and more to increase the temperature. So it's a delayed effect, the mean temperature keeps dropping with the increasing solar radiation not enough to overcome the falling temperature. So it takes longer for the temperatures to start rising.
Of course cold fronts from different areas of the world can drastically affect that as well.

January in the uk is the coldest month and December is the second coldest month of the year. January is 0.2 celcius colder than December.
