NORAD Santa Tracker 2023: Follow Father Christmas Journey Across the World

Santa Claus is on his way! Use NORAD's Santa Tracker app to follow his journey and see where he's headed next.

With just one more sleep, the anticipation for Santa Claus's arrival is at an all-time high. Children around the world are eagerly awaiting the moment when Father Christmas and his fleet of reindeer embark on their magical journey to deliver presents and spread good cheer.

Thanks to NORAD's Santa Tracker app or website, kids can now track Santa's whereabouts in real-time, giving them a glimpse into his global journey. From 11am GMT until bedtime, parents can help their little ones keep an eye on Santa as he travels the world.

NORAD's tracker not only shows where Santa is, but also provides updates on the number of presents he's delivered. It's a fun way for kids to satisfy their curiosity and feel the excitement of Santa's journey.

Santa's first stop is in the Republic of Kiribati in the central Pacific Ocean, followed by visits to New Zealand, Australia, Asia, and Africa before reaching the UK. With an impressive rate of 390,000 homes per minute, Santa and his team of reindeer are on a mission to spread joy across the globe.

The NORAD tracker has been a beloved tradition for children for many years. Originally established in 1955, kids used to call the NORAD hotline to find out Santa's location. The misprinted telephone number in an advertisement led to children reaching NORAD, where they received updates on Santa's whereabouts. This heartwarming mishap led to the creation of the interactive online tracker that we know today.

To track Santa's journey, visit NORAD's tracker on their website or download the NORAD Track Santa app. Additionally, Amazon Alexa users can ask for Santa's location through the NORAD Tracks Santa skill at any time on December 24.

As the excitement builds, children and families can join in the festive spirit by following Santa's journey and eagerly awaiting his arrival in their own homes. With the help of technology, the magic of Christmas comes to life in a whole new way.
