I do not notice any more rattles in cold weather, but then my ES is pretty solid as is.
It makes sense that plastic shrinks and becomes stiffer in cold weather, so some more squeaks and rattles are not unexpected.

If you are going to have rattles, they will be worse in winter. So far so good on my 2010. I had to sell a mint $30,000 Honda EX-L Coupe because of road noise and rattles! Things aren't like they used to be.

What year is your ES? There is a TSIB on the older ES350's (mine is an 07) where they will remove the dash and align it with felt so it won't rattle. Mine was done and the noise is gone.

Mine does it slightly when very cold but once the interior warms up, quiet.
