NORAD tracks Santa Claus’ Christmas flight after takeoff from North Pole
You can even call the NORAD command center to ask about Santa’s whereabouts by dialing the toll-free number 1-877-Hi-NORAD (1-877-446-6723) or by sending an email to [email protected].

It’s a good thing, then, that the North American Aerospace Defense Command is keeping an eye on Santa so that little ones will know when he’s nearing.
Santa Claus is powering up his sleigh and delivering presents to children all around the world on Christmas Eve – and you can track him live as he makes his way to you.
The Santa Tracker website includes a Santa route map, recipes and an area to send a last-minute letter to St. Nick.
NORAD was created in 1958 by the governments of Canada and the United States as a bi-national air defense command.
The volunteers are also sharing Santa’s location on its website, plus Facebook and Twitter.
For 60 years, the US military has had a special relationship with Santa Claus. Other high-profile volunteers work remotely: First lady Michelle Obama is expected to volunteer, with calls forwarded to her on Christmas Eve.
In 1955, the Sears Roebuck & Co. department store placed an ad in a Colorado Springs newspaper with a phone number for kids to call and speak to Santa. Last year, the posts got 1.6 million Facebook likes.
The defense organization, headquartered at Peterson Air Force in Colorado, began getting ready for this year’s tracking session weeks ago.

But don’t stay up all night tracking Santa’s journey, he only visits the homes of children who are fast asleep! Children who called afterwards also were given updates on his location, and a tradition was born.
