This Christmas Eve, technology and tradition merge as the (NORAD) once again invites the world to track Santa Claus’s global gift-giving journey.

The annual NORAD Santa Tracker has become a beloved holiday tradition, captivating children and adults alike as they follow Santa’s sleigh across continents.

NORAD, typically responsible for monitoring the skies of North America, switches gears each December 24th to chart Santa’s magical flight path.

Using cutting-edge technology, radar, and satellite systems, the organization provides real-time updates on Santa’s location, ensuring he stays on schedule to deliver presents worldwide.

Accessible via the NORAD Santa Tracker website, families can see Santa’s progress as he navigates from the North Pole to homes in every corner of the globe.

The interactive platform includes animations, festive music, and insights into Santa’s route, adding to the excitement of Christmas Eve.

This cherished initiative began in 1955, when a misprinted phone number in a newspaper ad led children to call NORAD’s predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command, asking for Santa’s whereabouts.

Decades later, it remains a heartwarming reminder of how modern technology can bring people together during the holiday season.

Whether you’re a child eagerly awaiting Santa’s arrival or an adult seeking a touch of nostalgia, the NORAD Santa Tracker promises to deliver festive cheer with every sleigh update.
