NORAD's Christmas Eve Santa Monitoring System Activates for Annual Journey

On Christmas Eve, the North American Aerospace Defense Command's Santa monitoring system becomes operational once again.

NORAD indicates that Santa typically visits homes globally between 9 p.m. and midnight in each local time zone. Through their specialized tracking platform, households can pinpoint his precise whereabouts to ensure refreshments are ready and children are settled before his arrival.

Understanding NORAD's Santa Monitoring

Since 1955, the North American Aerospace Defense Command has provided Santa tracking services. This initiative offers reliable updates on Santa and his reindeer team as they distribute gifts across the planet.

The monitoring service officially commences on December 24th each year. NORAD's primary website features a countdown timer leading up to this event. Families can observe Santa's sleigh in three-dimensional visualization as it travels around the world delivering presents.

Current Santa Location Information

For those in Mississippi and beyond, the tracking tool provides specific details about Santa's route tonight.
