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.
