Because of your timezone settings (Easter Standard time is GMT -0500 therefore 5 hours before 2020-01-01).
Javascript Date object are timestamps - they merely contain a number of milliseconds since the epoch. There is no timezone info in a Date object. Which calendar date (day, minutes, seconds) this timestamp represents is a matter of the interpretation (one of to...String methods).
Basically it is the toString method that converts the date to your local timezone.

1@developer Don't use `new Date(string)` or `Date.parse`. Instead use `Moment.js`. – Dai Jan 07 '20 at 15:11

@Dai Moment.Js also returning same result – developer Jan 07 '20 at 15:19

@developer Please post a new question with your Moment.js code. I suspect you're missing some required parser options. – Dai Jan 07 '20 at 15:19

@pitto so its an issue in the JS. the date is exactly a date, without time or timezone – developer Jan 07 '20 at 15:29
