Where is Santa Claus Right Now?
- Tracking Santa with NORAD
- Tracking Santa with NORAD
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has been tracking Santa Claus on his Christmas Eve journey since 1955. It all began when a Sears Roebuck & Co. advertisement misprinted a phone number for children to call Santa. The number instead led to the hotline for the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD), which later became NORAD. When the colonel on duty answered the call, he realized the mistake but played along and gave the child an update on Santa’s whereabouts.
Nowadays, millions of people all over the world can follow Santa’s journey on Christmas Eve through the NORAD Tracks Santa website and mobile app. The site features interactive games, videos, and updates on Santa’s location throughout his journey. The tracking of Santa’s sleigh is made possible through a network of satellites, high-powered radar, and jet fighters. Volunteers, including military personnel and their families, staff NORAD’s call center to answer children’s questions about Santa’s journey.
NORAD’s Santa tracking has become a beloved tradition and brings joy to children and adults alike every holiday season.
- Santa’s Visit to the North Pole
One of the highlights of Santa’s journey is his visit to the North Pole. According to legend, the North Pole is where Santa’s workshop is located, where he and his team of elves work tirelessly all year round to make toys for children around the world.
The North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean, and is covered in ice all year round. Despite the harsh conditions, Santa and his reindeer are able to make the journey to the North Pole each year, bringing joy and cheer to all who live and work there.
The North Pole is also home to the Northern Lights, a stunning natural phenomenon that occurs when charged particles from the sun collide with the Earth’s atmosphere. Santa’s visit to the North Pole is said to be a magical experience, and it’s no wonder that so many children dream of one day visiting the North Pole themselves.

In some parts of the world, it is believed that Santa travels on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, while in others he travels by boat, helicopter, or even on the back of an elephant. No matter how he travels, Santa is always sure to spread Christmas cheer and bring smiles to the faces of children everywhere.
- Santa’s Arrival at Your House: What to Expect
For children all over the world, the most exciting part of Christmas Eve is the anticipation of Santa’s arrival. If you’re wondering what to expect when Santa comes to your house, here are a few things to keep in mind:
First, be sure to leave out some cookies and milk for Santa, as he will likely be hungry after his long journey. You can also leave carrots or other treats for his trusty reindeer, who will need some fuel for the rest of their journey.
Second, be sure to go to bed early and get plenty of rest, as Santa is known to come when everyone is asleep. If you’re having trouble falling asleep, you can try counting reindeer or listening for the sound of sleigh bells.
Finally, when you wake up on Christmas morning, be sure to check your stocking and look under the tree for presents from Santa. Even if you didn’t get everything you asked for, remember that the most important gift of all is the love and joy that comes with spending time with family and friends.
In the end, the magic of Santa Claus is not in the presents he brings or the places he travels, but in the spirit of generosity and kindness that he embodies.
