You will want to bookmark and reference these sites all season long.

On every Official North Pole website you will see the countdown clock prominently displayed. It’s not counting down to Christmas – it is counting down to when Santa leaves.

Once Santa leaves the North Pole it takes more than 30 hours for him to deliver around the world.

The North Pole provides many resources with up-to-date features of where Santa is, what he is doing and where he is headed. Check out:

  • North Pole Radio News – the world famous Tracking Santa Around the World radio broadcast is shared on every Official North Pole Website. Two full days of radio coverage featuring commercial-free Christmas music interrupted only by Santa updates giving the latest position as well as news of Santa sightings
  • The Santa Tracker – direct from North Pole Flight Command, our maps give the precise location of Santa wherever he goes
  • Continuous news posts – SantaUpdate.com and NorthPoleFlightCommand.com work around the clock to bring you the most comprehensive North Pole news coverage on the planet

Santa arrives anywhere between 10pm local time on December 24th and 4am local time on December 25th, depending on many factors in his flight. Watch the map, observe the weather, listen to Kringle Radio and stay on the websites and you will know when Santa is soon to arrive at your house.

Bedtime advisories for all areas of the world are published at NorthPoleFlightCommand.com well in advance of Santa’s arrival at your home. You’ll also hear of them on Kringle Radio. Santa wants you to know when bedtime is because he cannot arrive until you are asleep.

Just how do you track Santa?

For many people tracking Santa means looking at a computer generated image on some sort of map.

When you track Santa for Santa it is a different story – a BIG story. A story that takes all year to tell.

You’re never to late or early to start.

It begins at SantaUpdate.com, the Official North Pole news site of Santa, the elves, life at the North Pole and everything about Operation Merry Christmas.

What is Operation Merry Christmas? It’s simply the effort that goes into making Santa Santa. It takes all year, millions of elves and lots of organization. Santa Update tells that story and you need to go there. Often.

It will lead you to not only news but it also connects you via the North Pole Post Office to a variety of Christmas activities. All free, of course.

It also drives the Christmas broadcasting of Kringle Radio, which also hosts North Pole Radio News. Yes, you can hear the voices behind the real radio news at the North Pole.

And that’s just the beginning. Next you’ll want to:

As the time for Santa’s launch draws near, if you’re familiar with all the resources listed above, you’ll know what’s happening as Santa makes his way around the world.

Listen to the news, watch the map and respond to the ever-changing situation of Santa in the skies. You’ll hear live radio reports of close encounters with Santa, sleigh sightings and live elf reports from around the world.

You’ll also know when Santa sends out a bedtime advisory and when he needs more information before heading into your neighborhood, city or town.

It’s Santa tracking that is interactive. And it helps Santa.
