Central Florida is a humid sub-tropic and as such it can often get into the 40s on winter nights, and have winter days when it never leaves the upper 50's. On rare occasions, temperatures can dip below freezing but those are few and far between, and might happen one or two days out of the entire year, if at all.

These are things you'd know, if you had checked Wikipedia, or done a simple google search for Florida climate information. You can even check the Orlando wikipedia entry, which brings you a little closer (albeit an hour south of) to us for detail. You'll find that in December, January, and February, it is common to have minimum day-time temps in the low 50's. It's also common to have maximum daytime temps in the low 70's, for the same months.

Mean minimums (which would be night-time) during December, January, and February, are commonly just above freezing and don't even hit 40.

There've been extremes outside these "mean" measurements - record low of 18 in December in Orlando, and record high of 103 one September.

In general though, with the exceptions of the extreme highs and lows and seasonal changes, the greater Orlando area (including the Villages, which is just north) should expect daytime temps to range from the low 70's to the low 90's for most of the year.
