The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) announced it will once again track Santa Claus on radar as he makes his annual journey around the globe on Christmas Eve. The NORAD Santa tracker is scheduled to go live on war.gov tomorrow night and will continue the longstanding holiday tradition. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
This tradition began decades ago after an unintentional phone call from a child to the then‑Continental Air Defense Command and has evolved into a festive event enjoyed by families. NORAD’s Santa Operations Center will begin operations on Dec. 24 at 4 a.m. Mountain Standard Time. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
More than 1,000 Canadian and American military personnel, civilians and volunteers at Petersen Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, will staff the operation to answer phone calls from children. Callers can reach the center on Christmas Eve to learn Santa’s current location until midnight. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
