Track Santa From The North Pole To Long Island

Where are Santa Claus and his reindeer? If your children are getting antsy about the arrival of Santa Claus, you can point them to the online Santa Tracker.

For more than 60 years, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has tracked Santa's whereabouts on Christmas Eve using satellites, jet fighters and secret Santa cameras. The 2017 NORAD Tracks Santa website and apps offer a Christmas countdown, games and other activities, in addition to NORAD's iconic reports on Santa's travels on Christmas Eve.

According to Lt. Marco Chouinard, the NORAD Tracks Santa spokesperson, more than 1,500 volunteers help NORAD track Santa over a 23-hour period on Christmas Eve.

Here's a general timeline of what you can expect:
