    I set the canonical URL of a HTTPS website to a HTTP website with different domain
    However, how many times I tried, The HTTPS website keep showing canonical URL to HTTPS

    Example:
    <link rel="canonical" href="http://123.123.123.123" />

    in browser : <link rel="canonical" href="https://123.123.123.123" />

    How can It stays HTTP instead of HTTPS

    How did you do this?

    On a WordPress site, canonical is automatically set to the page’s permalink by WordPress when wp_head() is called, unless overridden by a theme or plugin.

    And the URL scheme used is whatever is set in your SETTINGS => GENERAL (under “WordPress Address” & “Site Address”).

    SORRY. I forgot to mention. The canonical url is different domain.

    I set the custom canonical using Snippet plugin

    If I understand you correctly, you’re using a custom PHP code snippet to override WordPress’ auto-generated canonical and insert your own?

    If so, can you share the code snippet you’re using?

    this add custom canonical url 

    add_action('wp_head', 'cano_ip');
function cano_ip(){
?>
<link rel="canonical" href="http://123.123.123.123" />
<?php
}
