🎄 The season has officially begun, #NORADTracksSanta fans! NORAD is excited to kick off our 70th year tracking Santa, a tradition built on goodwill, binational teamwork, and holiday magic. Every December, NORAD uses radar, satellites, and aircraft, the same systems that protect North American airspace every day, to follow Santa’s journey across the globe. We can’t wait to share STEM facts, behind-the-scenes moments, and educational posts all month long. #NORADTracksSanta #NTS25 #HolidayTraditio

For 70 years, NORAD has tracked Santa’s journey around the globe, using the same radars, satellites, and aircraft that help defend North America every day. This holiday tradition allows us to share a bit of cheer while educating millions about NORAD’s mission of aerospace warning, aerospace control, and maritime warning. 🎅✨ Watch the video below and join us on December 24 as we follow Santa’s magical flight at NORADSanta.org. #NORADTracksSanta | Royal Canadian Air Force

We appreciate Gary Sinise’s continued support of service members, veterans, and their families, and his message celebrating this beloved holiday tradition. Track Santa on Christmas Eve at www.norads
