How? We've had our pullet inside for under 2 weeks, it's time for her vacation to end and go back home...
It's certainly colder out there than in here, in fact it's snowing today and we're going to get a few inches.

Does she have to be acclimated to the cold weather? If not, how long would she have to be "away from" the cold to require being acclimated.
Do I need to keep her in until Spring now LOL

There is no acclimation period needed. They are not liked furry animals who grow a winter coat and need the gradual change in air temperature to start growing their winter coat like a rabbit. She should have no problem going right out into the coop.
 
Put her out a couple hours for a day or two. Then lengthen the time. If your coop gets warmer then the outside air on a sunny day you could just throw her out of your house and in hers, at night she will use her flock mates to stay warm.
