“Annual NORAD Santa Tracker: Santa Claus Spotted in Arctic, Israel, and Gaza Strip on Global Gift-Giving Journey”

The American-Canadian joint operation for tracking Santa Claus brings joy to children worldwide. Military monitoring and an interactive website provide updates on Santa’s journey, distributing gifts and spreading Christmas cheer. NORAD’s tradition of tracking Santa began in 1955 due to a typo, resulting in children connecting with the U.S. Continental Air Defense Command. This year, Santa visited Armenia and various locations worldwide before heading to the U.S. and Canada.
