From Norad: Santa’s route from the North Pole starts at the International Date Line, traveling west across the Pacific to New Zealand, Australia, then Asia, Africa, Europe, and finally the Americas, following the night to deliver gifts, all tracked by NORAD using radar and Rudolph’s nose heat signature. Santa departs the North Pole on Christmas Eve, heading towards the International Date Line. Santa visits the South Pacific, then New Zealand and Australia, working his way west. Asia & Africa: Next, Santa travels over Japan, across Asia, and then to Africa. Europe: From Africa, he heads into Europe. The Americas: He crosses the Atlantic to Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Central & South America. NORAD: The North American Aerospace Defense Command tracks Santa using its powerful radar, satellites (detecting heat from Rudolph’s nose), and fighter jets.
