Track Santa this Christmas Eve

You can track Father Christmas as he races around the world delivering gifts.

Guided by Rudolph and his famous team of reindeer - Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen - Santa is racing against the clock to make sure gifts arrive in time for Christmas morning.

His progress is being tracked by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the joint US-Canadian defence partnership that usually monitors the skies for security threats but switches focus once a year to follow Santa's sleigh.
