NORAD live tracker: How to follow Santa Claus in real time as he delivers Christmas gifts across the globe

Santa Claus is on his annual Christmas Eve journey, delivering gifts globally. NORAD provides real-time tracking of his route, accessible through their website and app. The tracking displays Santa's location, gifts delivered, and information about locations along his route. This tradition started in 1955 after a child's accidental call to a military command center. The commander assured the child he was talking to Santa, initiating the annual tracking. Children can call a dedicated number or use various apps and platforms to track Santa's progress. The NORAD Tracks Santa initiative involves numerous volunteers answering calls from children. The tracking includes a gift counter and links to Wikipedia summaries of locations visited. This year's tracking coincides with Amazon worker strikes and brief airline groundings.
