Norad Santa is a fun and free way to get your kids excited for Christmas. Starting on December 1st, the site counts down the amount of time until Santa begins his travels around the world. Check it every day with your kids to see how much it’s changed and to build up excitement for Christmas!
When Christmas Eve rolls around, you can bring up Norad Santa on the family computer and watch it with your kids. It shows where Santa is flying and delivering gifts.
It’s a sad day when kids stop believing in Santa, and you can extend their belief a little longer with Norad!
