A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice a year when the Sun reaches its highest or lowest point in the sky, resulting in the longest and shortest days of the year. An eclipse, on the other hand, is when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another celestial body, causing a temporary dimming or blocking of light.

How often is there a lunar eclipse with a full moon during the winter solstice?

There isn't really any correlation between eclipses and solstices, so statistically we might expect to see a total lunar eclipse (which happens about once per year) on the winter solstice about once every 360 years. The total lunar eclipse of December 20/21, 2010 (depending on what time zone you are in) is a bit over 13 hours before the northern hemisphere winter solstice.
