The phase change occurring when liquid water droplets form snow crystals is **freezing**.
In this context, the water vapor in the air directly turns into solid snow crystals through a process known as deposition. However, if you are specifically asking about the formation of snow from liquid water droplets, it would involve freezing as those droplets would turn into ice (snow crystals) as they cool below 0°C.
