Explore a rotating 3D Earth, follow Santa’s sleigh, and see the distance and countdown to his next destination. Our Christmas Day adventure visits all 50 U.S. states, with state flags and local arrival times to help families follow along.
Find Santa’s arrival time in your state, watch the Santa Cam, or choose a favorite Christmas song while you explore. You can also meet Santa and visit his North Pole home in our illustrated story. Parents can help children preview a Christmas wish and choose whether to save it privately.
This Santa tracker is a make-believe Christmas experience. The route and gift counts are fictional; no real deliveries are tracked.
Open the 3D Santa tracker to follow the sleigh on a satellite globe. Drag to turn Earth, scroll or pinch to zoom, and use Follow Santa to stay with the sleigh. You can see gifts delivered, total distance traveled, the next destination, and its arrival countdown.
The 50 state Santa arrival timeline lists each state’s scheduled arrival in local time. States that cross time zones include an additional time. The schedule follows this site’s shared Christmas story and changes if the journey is paused or rescheduled.
Yes. Open the journey page at any time to explore the globe and choose a state. Select Full screen to enjoy a larger view, then Exit full screen or press Escape to return. The Santa Cam stays blank until the site administrator starts the journey.
The countdown shows days, hours, minutes, and seconds until December 25 at midnight in your device’s local time zone. On Christmas Day it displays a Christmas greeting. Families in different time zones may see different countdowns.
FindSanta is an independent, make-believe family experience. The sleigh route, arrival schedule, gift totals, and good and naughty lists are part of the story. Santa Cam is a prerecorded festive video. The Earth uses NASA satellite imagery, rather than a live camera feed.
Children can write and preview a wish with a grown-up. A parent or guardian can then choose to save the wish, their email, and state in Santa’s private mailbox for up to 30 days. A special Santa video appears after a successful submission. No email is sent, and a wish does not guarantee a gift.
The tracker is free to use and does not ask for a child’s location. You can explore the map, Christmas songs, and Santa’s North Pole story without submitting a wish or creating an account. The visitor counter uses a first-party cookie to avoid recounting the same browser on every page.
