SZNZ: Winter closes Weezer's SZNZ project, a set of four releases themed around the seasons and first designated as EPs. It arrived digitally on 21 December 2022, timed to coincide with the December solstice, on Atlantic.

The record is counted as the band's nineteenth studio album, and it sits in the alternative rock and power pop territory the group is known for. Its single, "I Want a Dog", came out on 9 December 2022, a couple of weeks ahead of the full release. For anyone who has followed Weezer from the 1990s onwards, it is the final piece of an unusual calendar-driven project, best heard alongside the other three seasonal instalments.
