NORAD Santa Tracker Keeps Tabs on Santa's Movements for the 66th Year

Santa Claus completed his trek around the world on Christmas Eve, and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) tracked his movements across the globe.

For the 66th year, NORAD Tracks Santa was live with volunteers answering calls and emails at NORAD headquarters.

The U.S.-Canadian military operation began tracking Jolly Old St. Nicholas in 1955, first by landline and now by iPhone, Android, OnStar, Facebook, YouTube and other social media platforms.

The Colorado-based North American Aerospace Defense Command provides real-time updates on Santa’s progress Dec. 24, allowing families to watch him in 3D as he travels across the South Pacific, Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas.
