New Delhi: As Christmas nears, the buzz of excitement fills the air as people across the globe engage in the timeless tradition of tracking Santa Claus. Since the 1960s, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has diligently monitored Santa’s journey. However, there’s another player in this festive pursuit — Google. In 2004, Google took on the enchanting task of tracking Kris Kringle’s Worldwide adventure, introducing the now-annual Google Santa Tracker.

Designed to follow the legendary figure of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve using predetermined GPS data, the tracker has become a joy for people of all ages.
