If we're talking about a line that happened before the Season 3 finale, then it's because Once Upon a Time functions on that weird kind of time travel that ignores pre-destination paradoxes, so the past can only be changed once the characters reach the point in the future where they go back and change the past (despite all the confusingness that that brings with it). Prior to the Season 3 finale, Snow Falls is canon, Snow Drifts is not.

It we're talking about a line that happened after the Season 3 finale, then it's an error. Any episodes that aired after the Season 3 finale use the canon of Snow Drifts, not Snow Falls.

It's confusing and is why I have vowed to never incorporate time travel into an otherwise non-time travel-based series and seriously wish others would do the same.

We're talking about a line from Season Four.
