Santa Trackers
What better to do on Christmas Eve than track Santa’s journey around the world whilst awaiting his arrival?
These are the Best Santa Trackers, Websites & Apps that Children can use to track Santa’s Journey around the world on Christmas Eve.
What is the best Santa Tracker?
There are a few good Santa trackers available that are all compatible with your laptop, home PC, Ipad, Android devices and Mobile phone. The main two are Google Santa Tracker and NORAD, both are great but not the only choice available.
Here are 5 Ways to track Santa on Christmas Eve…
1 – Google Santa Tracker
The website is open all year round with the festive fun and games beginning on December 1st. Once Santa’s village is open on this date you can play games and learn about holiday traditions around the world.
You can also use Google Assistant to simulate a call to Santa or to listen to a Christmas story.
Every Christmas Eve, the Google Santa Tracker begins to track Santa at about 10 am in the UK.
He will reach the UK between about 9 pm and midnight.
2 – NORAD Santa Tracker
The website opens annually on December 1st, where you can check out Santa’s Village in the North Pole, play games, listen to music, and learn all about Santa, his magic sleigh and holiday traditions around the world.
Every Christmas Eve, the NORAD Santa Tracker begins to track Santa at about 9 am in the UK.
He will reach the UK between about 9 pm and midnight.
3 – Santa Update
This is a pretty neat website that doesn’t get enough recognition. It’s a ‘North Pole News’ type website that provides daily Santa updates that start annually in September.
Children can find out what’s happening in Santa’s workshop, and listen to Kringle Radio for music and Santa updates.
Then on Christmas eve, the map goes live and newscasters pop in every 15 minutes to give you and your kids an update on Santa’s coordinates and where he’s headed next.
There are also bedtime warnings when Santa is beginning to approach your area of the country, which is handy for those children who are still up.

5 – Alexa, Google Assistant & Siri
You (or your child) can ask your smart device where Santa is at any time on Christmas Eve and they will let you know.
You can also get them to crack you a few Christmas jokes, play some Christmas songs, or even ask them some questions about Christmas to learn some history or traditions.
Which will help pass away the day for excited children!
Note: These Santa trackers differ so Santa appears to be in different locations at the same time, so be sure to only let your child use one and stick to it.
