You can use a function in the ngIf directive, like *ngIf="showBasedOnDate(date)" create this function in your TS file and handle all logic there. Return either true or false to show the elements.

<div *ngIf="showBasedOnDate(date)"> 
   I am shown
</div>

showBasedOnDate(date) {
 // here you can have as much logic as you would like, based on your needs. 
 return (date === new Date() );
}
