Answer

mysql> select from_unixtime(1546322400) as date;
+---------------------+
| date                |
+---------------------+
| 2018-12-31 22:00:00 |
+---------------------+

mysql> select date_format(from_unixtime(1546322400), '%m/%d/%Y') as date;
+------------+
| date       |
+------------+
| 12/31/2018 |
+------------+

I forgot until the comment from nbk above that FROM_UNIXTIME() does support an optional second argument, so you can do this in one step:

mysql> select from_unixtime(1546322400, '%m/%d/%Y') as date;
+------------+
| date       |
+------------+
| 12/31/2018 |
+------------+

Read about DATE_FORMAT() and FROM_UNIXTIME().
