North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has been keeping up the tradition of tracking Santa for 70 years now, offering live updates through the NORAD Tracks Santa portal.
NORAD’s tracker typically goes live early on Christmas Eve, with satellites and defense radar systems enabling minute-by-minute updates.
Families can use mobile apps, the official NORADSanta.org website, or the toll-free phone to follow Santa. On Christmas Eve, from 4 a.m. Until midnight Mountain Standard Time, over a thousand volunteers will answer calls to 1-877-HI-NORAD.
Parents and children can follow Santa's voyage on the website in nine languages, including Japanese and English.
The custom began in 1955 when the Continental Air Defense Command, the forerunner of NORAD, remained alert for any indication that the then-Soviet Union might launch a nuclear assault.
A child accidentally called the battle operations center and requested to talk with Santa Claus, according to NORAD. Air Force Col. Harry Shoup, the then commander on duty, then instructed staff members to begin tracking Santa and answering calls from kids because he didn't want to let the kids down.
Since then, flight radar websites have also joined in on this tradition of showing St. Nick's journey around the world in a day.
