December 24, 2016 (North Pole)—Kids and families who want to track Santa’s journey around the world can log onto http://www.noradsanta.org/ to view video live on locations this Christmas Eve.
For over 60 years, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has been tracking Santa Claus complete with secret Santa cameras , satellites and even jet fighter planes. Kids can click on locations to learn about places around the globe.
You can also download NORAD Tracks Santa apps for your smart phone through Windows, Apple and Google Play stores.
In addition to viewing Santa’s flight, you can also dial 1-877-446-67233 (Hi Norad) to speak with a live phone operator and inquire about Santa’s whereabouts, or email noradtrackssanta@outlook.com.
Tracking Santa started in 1955, when an ad had a misprint in a phone number for Santa. The phone rang instead at the Continental Air Defense Command Operations Center, the predecessor to NORAD. Since then, the operation has grown to now include over 1,500 volunteers helping track Santa on his 23-hour Christmas Eve flight.
