URGENT UPDATE: The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has officially launched its 70th annual Santa tracking operation today, December 24, 2023, from its headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This beloved holiday tradition allows children and families across the globe to follow Santa Claus as he delivers gifts on Christmas Eve.
Officials confirm that the NORAD Santa Tracker website and mobile app are now live, providing real-time updates on Santa’s journey. This year, thousands of families are expected to engage with the interactive platform, which includes festive features like games, trivia, and videos to enhance the holiday spirit.
