5 ways to track Santa’s Christmas Eve flight across Birmingham

Do you hear that jingle? It’s the sound of Santa and his reindeer flying toward Birmingham. To help you keep tabs on his whereabouts this December 24, we’ve rounded up the top five Santa trackers that will provide families with an extra dose of magic this holiday season. Trust me, I tried them.

1. Santaupdate.com

Landing in the top spot of best Santa trackers is santaupdate.com. Not only can you listen to a live radio broadcast that tracks Santa and his sleigh during their Christmas Eve flight, but you can also text the word SANTA to 844.1532 to get updates on Santa via phone.

Here’s why else it makes the number one spot:

• You can visit a virtual North Pole to email Santa or create a wishlist.
• It features a Northpole Podcast so you can find out what’s going on at the North Pole on Christmas Eve.
• You can chat online via the North Pole Chatroom with Santa himself.
• You can ask Mrs. Claus and Elf Crash Murphy all of your most important Santa-related questions.
