Where in the World is Santa Claus?
For instance, in the countdown to the big day, Cortana reveals that Santa is hitting the North Pole barber for a beard trim, trimming reindeer hooves, and making cocoa with tiny marshmallows for the elves.

Thus, began the tradition of tracking Santa, which has been carried on by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and created by the governments of Canada and the U.S.in 1958. This allows NORAD to show maps that capture everything from satellites to snowflakes in eye-catching detail, aided by support in the latest internet browsers. NORAD’s “Santa Cams” will stream videos on the website as Santa makes his way over various locations. “We focus on big cultural moments and building an experience that sparks the imagination”, says Matthew Quinlan, director of product marketing for Bing. Just press the blue OnStar button in your vehicle and request an update.
Microsoft has integrated Windows 10, Microsoft Edge and Cortana into NORAD’s Santa Tracker, which will mark its 60th anniversary this year.
And now it is available right here, in 3D each year alongside its own Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts.
Volunteers will be answering calls from an estimated 125,000 children around the globe, including Australia and New Zealand, said NORAD’s Stacey Knott, who has organised the Santa tracking for three years.
NORAD’s job is to keep the skies over North America safe and they use the same systems to search for Santa.
For many families, keeping track of Kris Kringle has become a Christmas custom. NORAD explains that fighter pilots “often escort Santa’s sleigh through North American airspace”, while the navy and coast guard secure the seas beneath him.
There is no denying the fact that by tuning into the NORAD Santa Tracker you are partaking in a tradition that was started on Christmas Eve in 1955. But on December 24th, visitors will be able to track Santa’s progress all night.

Chouinard said one of the most important things kids ask NORAD Tracks Santa is – When will Santa be visiting my home? Santa will be out to feed them at 11 a.m., 6 p.m., and 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
