Santa Claus’ Reindeer-Powered Global Flight to Deliver Presents Underway
Santa Track Now
Santa Claus, with his trusty reindeer, has taken off on his global flight to deliver presents around the world, as per the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). This whimsical tradition, running for 69 years, tracks Santa’s journey in real-time. NORAD, a joint US and Canadian military command based at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, keeps a close eye on Santa’s sleigh as it delivers holiday joy.
The tracking tradition has become an iconic part of Christmas celebrations. NORAD ensures that no matter what happens in the world, they are ready to track Santa’s flight. “Santa runs on the Christmas spirit, so any possible government actions would not affect his mission,” said Royal Canadian Air Force Major Jennie Derenzis, a NORAD spokesperson. Even in the event of a government shutdown, NORAD’s staff, mostly civilian volunteers, would still be dedicated to tracking Santa Claus’ journey.
At the time of this story’s publishing, Santa was heading towards Cayenne, French Guiana, after completing his rounds over the North Pole and other regions. The tracking tradition began in 1955 with a mix-up in an advertisement, which led to an officer reassuring kids that Santa was making his rounds as scheduled.
NORAD Tracks Santa is now an international sensation, offering real-time updates on Santa’s sleigh as he delivers presents. The website offers a variety of features including a holiday countdown, games, and holiday music. It is available in multiple languages and can be followed on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and X, along with Amazon Alexa, SiriusXM, and OnStar.
