Date picker choosing wrong date since leap year

This sounds like a timezone issue. Your date is being stored in Mongo in UTC, so you need to take that into consideration when storing/retrieving/displaying the date.

How to deal with user input of dates using ISODate stored to Mongo db?

SOLVED!: thanks to the first half of this post: which explains my exact issue with the shift, I learned to use moment.utc(date) instead of moment(date) to format my dates and now it shows correctly. Template.registerHelper(“mdy”, function (date) { if (date) { return moment.utc(date).format(‘MM/DD/YYYY’); } });
