A winter break? (4)

I believe the answer is:

snap

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'a winter' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'break?' is the second definition.
(I know that snap is a type of break)

(Other definitions for snap that I've seen before include "Collapse" , "Photograph - card game" , "Cut" , "unexpected? > Same here!" , "Ginger biscuit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
