Kids want to know when to head to bed, parents want to time the cookies and milk and everyone loves watching that tiny sleigh zip across the map. And thanks to the NORAD Santa Tracker, we actually get a surprisingly detailed look at his journey each year.
What Is the NORAD Santa Tracker?
NORAD’s tracker has been running since 1955, when a child accidentally dialed the Continental Air Defense Command’s hotline after a local newspaper misprinted a phone number for a department store Santa.
Now, the NORAD Santa Tracker uses a combination of satellites, radar, fighter jet escorts and Santa Cams (NORAD’s term for its global network of cameras) to update Santa’s location in real time. Volunteers take calls from kids around the world, and the tracker’s website and app receive millions of visits every Christmas Eve.

If you’re in the United States, Santa typically reaches the East Coast between 9 p.m. and midnight local time, although the tracker might vary from year to year.
Once he’s spotted over Canada, the tracker usually moves quickly state by state, which is the official signal for kids to get tucked in before the sleigh gets too close if they want to stay on the Nice List.
How the Santa Tracker Helps Plan Your Christmas Eve
For most families, the NORAD Santa Tracker is less about magic and more about logistics. It lets you plan bedtime, time your cookie plate and avoid any accidental Santa sightings. As long as you’re checking in throughout the night, you’ll know when he’s getting close.
