NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) has been tracking Santa’s journey around the world since 1955. This tradition started accidentally when a misprinted phone number in a Sears ad led children to call NORAD’s predecessor, CONAD, instead of Santa. Since then, NORAD has used its radar, satellites, and jet fighters to monitor Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve.
To follow Santa, visit noradsanta.org, where real-time tracking begins on December 24. The site features a live map of Santa’s location, games, music, and holiday traditions. You can also track Santa using mobile apps, social media, or by calling the hotline at 1-877-HI-NORAD.
This fun, family-friendly event combines advanced technology with festive cheer, bringing the magic of Christmas to life for millions worldwide.
