Santa Tracker

The sleigh carries exactly what the workshops have built. Before Christmas Eve, watch the loading. On Christmas Eve, follow midnight around the world.

Your time zone

Santa reaches each time zone at about midnight, local time, on Christmas Eve. Turn on JavaScript to see when he reaches yours.

We work this out from your device's clock. We never ask where you live.

Christmas Eve sounds

Off until you press play. The Workshop Band plays live in your browser (celesta, brass, strings, harp, sleigh bells and more), so nothing downloads. Each carol grows bigger the second time round.

How the tracker works

Santa follows midnight west. He launches at 10:00 North Pole Time on December 24, when it becomes midnight in the first time zone, and visits 29 time zones in turn, finishing about 25 hours later. Every number here comes from the same workshop inventory you can see on the rest of the portal: if Plush & Stuffing is behind, the sleigh carries fewer plush toys until it catches up.

For grown-ups: the sleigh's route is the same for every family. The tracker never asks where you live, uses no location data, and sets no cookies. Season 2026.
