Tracking Santa’s 2025 Christmas flight with NORAD.

For 70 years, NORAD has been tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, using satellite technology to show his real-time journey around the world. Santa typically arrives between 9 p.m. and midnight, but his exact route is unpredictable. NORAD, a bi-national organization between the U.S. and Canada, monitors the skies year-round for potential threats and utilizes its expertise for this festive tradition. The Santa tracker program, supported by volunteers and corporate sponsors, began in 1955 and continues to bring joy to families nationwide.
