It is no easy task for Santa Claus and his soaring reindeer to travel around our planet bringing toys and joys with them. And whether Rudolph’s Red Nose is needed this year or not, it’s still a wondrous annual mission that requires expert mapping and some cooperation from Mother Nature.

For eager eyes awaiting his arrival, the NORAD Tracks Santa website and app will get you in the Christmas spirit by tracking exactly where in the world the Big Red is and where his path takes him next. This interactive simulation app is available for Android or Apple iOS devices and can be downloaded for free from NORAD’s official website.
