Jest snapshot fails every test run

The default date props is different on every test run which causes the Jest snapshots to fail - any recommendation on how to handle this scenario?

First glance solution feels hacky: <DateTimePicker date={env.__TEST__ ? new Date(testDate) : undefined} />

My solution, for now, is to over-ride the Date constructor in my setupTests.js file that is ran before all tests. This is also hacky 😕 I did find the mockdate package which essentially does the same thing and it has a lot of downloads which indicates this is a popular solution.

Date = class extends Date {
  constructor(date) {
    if (date) {
        return super(date);
    }

    return new Date('2018-09-20T23:00:00Z');
  }
}

Adding Date.now = jest.fn(() => 1482363367071); beforeEach of my test solved this for me.
