Santa trackers worldwide can call 1-877-Hi-NORAD (1-877-446-6723) to speak with a live phone operator to ask about Santa's whereabouts or by sending an email to noradtrackssanta@outlook.com.

Families can also follow Santa on "Santa Cams" on the NORAD Santa Tracker website; apps in the Windows, Apple and Google Play stores; and social media sites including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Google+.

Any time on Dec. 24, Windows Phone users can ask Cortana for Santa's location, and OnStar subscribers can press the OnStar button in their vehicles to locate Santa.

The tradition of NORAD tracking Santa began in 1955 when a local advertisement directing children to call Santa directly had misprinted the telephone number.

Instead of calling the North Pole, the phone rang through to the Crew Commander on duty at the Continental Air Defense Command Operations Center, where the officer on duty provided updates on Santa's location. NORAD has carried on the tradition, and today nearly 1,200 volunteers are providing updates on Santa's location.
