16/11 Update: While this article talks about the Hallow's End event, the instructions below still work. Make sure you reconnect your account if you haven't done that in the past month. Twitch and Battle.net had issues and most accounts got disconnected. Guide on below.
Hearthstone Twitch Drops for Hallow's End
Initially, Hearthstone announced that Twitch Drops would be active during the expansion reveal stream. However, due to technical problems, viewers that joined the event didn't receive any loot. Fortunately, Blizzard reacted quickly and promised a Hearthstone category-wide Twitch Drop window during Hallow's End celebration to compensate.
This promotion starts today, November 3rd, at 9 am (PT) and lasts until November 4th at 6 pm (PT). If you are not sure about time conversions, click on the link to have the time expressed in your local time.
Viewers will earn a free Murder at Castle Nathria Pack after watching 2 hours of any Hearthstone stream on Twitch. Furthermore, Hearthstone fans can also earn an extra March of the Lich King pack for watching an additional 2 more hours.
Make sure the stream you are watching has Twitch Drop active to get the free Hearthstone packs. You can check that information in their chat or also by clicking your profile avatar to be sure.

To do that, you need to go to your Battle.net account and scroll down to connect it to Twitch. After doing that, refresh any Hearthstone stream with active drops and start progressing toward your free packs.
