Keep your eyes on the NORAD Santa Tracker this Christmas eve and watch Santa’s sleigh move in real time, complete with updates on where he was last spotted, how fast he’s travelling and which city he’s heading to next.

A message from Father Christmas

🎅 Ho ho ho! Hello there, my little adventurers! Welcome to my special Santa Tracker map. I’ve made this just for you, so you can follow along as I travel all around the world on Christmas Eve. Take a good look, because you’ll see all sorts of wonderful things that help tell the story of my magical journey.  

Do you see those big shapes on the map? Those are the continents, huge pieces of land where families live, work and play. You might even spot the one where you live! And all that blue around them? That’s the ocean I soar over with my reindeer as we dash from one place to the next.

Sprinkled across the map, you’ll notice lots of bright little dots and markers. Each one shows a town or city that I’ll be visiting to deliver presents.

Some places are very close together, while others are far away, but don’t you worry, my sleigh is fast and my reindeer are always ready for the long journey.

Keep your eyes peeled for special icons too, tiny pictures that show where I’ve been, where I’m heading, and sometimes even where the North Pole is. These little symbols make it easier for you to follow my route as I zoom around the globe.

This map is your peek into my Christmas Eve adventure. Every time you check it, you might spot a new country, a different route, or a place you’ve never heard of before. So snuggle up, stay curious, and get ready to explore the world with me.

And don't forget... go to bed before I visit your house so I can deliver your presents while you're fast asleep.

From Santa 🎅 and the elves ✨
