How to Track Santa from North Pole to Pennsylvania on Christmas Eve

NORAD Santa Tracker is live now as the countdown to Christmas gets underway. Track his journey to the Keystone State here.

Where are Santa Claus and his reindeer? If your children are getting antsy about the arrival of Santa Claus, you can point them to the online Santa Tracker, which launched earlier this month in its 60th year with help from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). Residents of Pennsylvania can now follow Santa's movements all the way from the North Pole to their doorstep in the Keystone State.

For more than 60 years, NORAD has tracked Santa's whereabouts on Christmas Eve using satellites, jet fighters and secret Santa cameras. The 2016 NORAD Tracks Santa website and apps went live Dec. 1, offering a Christmas countdown, games and other activities, in addition to NORAD's iconic reports on Santa's travels on Christmas Eve.

According to Lt. Marco Chouinard, the NORAD Tracks Santa spokesperson, more than 1,500 volunteers help NORAD track Santa over a 23-hour period on Christmas Eve.
