# Calendar: Fixed today

> Pass `today` to pin the highlighted day, for tests or another time zone. `animate={false}` turns off month transitions.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/calendar/examples/fixed-today
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/calendar.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/calendar-fixed-today.json

This adds `components/examples/calendar/fixed-today.tsx` with the Calendar component and the HextaUI theme tokens.

## Source

```tsx title="components/examples/calendar/fixed-today.tsx"
"use client"

import * as React from "react"
import type { DateRange } from "react-day-picker"

import { Calendar } from "@/components/ui/calendar"

export function CalendarFixedToday() {
  const [range, setRange] = React.useState<DateRange | undefined>({
    from: new Date(2026, 1, 9),
    to: new Date(2026, 1, 17),
  })

  return (
    <div className="w-fit max-w-full overflow-x-auto rounded-xl border">
      <Calendar
        mode="range"
        today={new Date(2026, 1, 11)}
