The highcharter options can be accessed, but they are set inside the standard R options under the list element highcharter.options. They are not given directly to the highchart, and inside highchart(), there is the code line opts <- getOption("highcharter.options", list()).

I don't think there is another way than just get the options, alter whatever options you need to change and then set the options again with your additions.

The following is a simple illustration:

library(highcharter)

# normal highchart
highchart() %>%
  hc_add_serie_labels_values(1:901, seq(1, 10, 0.01))

opts <- getOption("highcharter.options")
opts$lang$decimalPoint <- "."
options(highcharter.options = opts)

# now with "," instead of "." (confirm in tooltip)
highchart() %>%
  hc_add_serie_labels_values(1:901, seq(1, 10, 0.01))

Of course in your case, you need to set the $global$timezoneOffset part.
