Where is Santa Claus Right Now? Track Santa's Trip Across the Globe
NORAD Santa Tracker is live now as the countdown to Christmas gets underway.
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, which launched earlier this month in its 60th year with help from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).
For more than 60 years, NORAD has tracked Santa's whereabouts on Christmas Eve using satellites, jet fighters and secret Santa cameras. The 2016 NORAD Tracks Santa website and apps went live Dec. 1, offering a Christmas countdown, games and other activities, in addition to NORAD's iconic reports on Santa's travels on Christmas Eve.
More than 1,500 volunteers help NORAD track Santa over a 23-hour period on Christmas Eve, according to Lt. Marco Chouinard, the NORAD Tracks Santa spokesperson.
