The episodes are not always aired in the order events took place in-universe.

Also, remember that, despite their similarities, Hearth's Warming Day =/= Christmas and Nightmare Night =/= Halloween. If anything, I suspect that Nightmare Night falls on the Winter Solstice, which is the shortest day of the year, and Hearth's Warming Day may be closer to the US Thanksgiving than Christmas. If that's the case, then the order of airing is correct.

Finally, remember that Scare Master was produced a lot earlier in the year. If it had been aired in production order, it would have been released in between Canterlot Boutique and Rarity Investigates.
