We’re closer to that time of year when we meet with family and celebrate Christmas. A fun activity for children is to track the location of Santa, so they know when he’s arriving to drop off gifts. If you’re really into the spirit, it will give a heads-up of when to prepare those milk and cookies.

Here are some of the top apps and sites you can use to track Santa’s location this festive season.

Google Santa Tracker

Welcome to the North Pole where you can play in the snow and have fun with the elves on Google Santa Tracker. You can help make some of Santa’s helpers or take selfies with the infamous gift-giver. There’s even a Code Lab, giving you a taste of making toys for the holidays.

If you want to chill to a film, there’s a theatre where you can watch YouTube movies and relax between all the fun games. At the top of the screen, a timer is ticking down to let you know when Santa and Christmas are arriving. It will also give you Santa’s location on the special day.

Santa Tracker: Where is Santa?

With the Santa Tracker: Where is Santa app, your inner stalker can go wild about learning more than just his location. It tells you how many cookies and milk he’s had on his trip and how many gifts are left to deliver. There’s a map showing his specific location at a given time, but you can also check other stats.

When you’re not watching where Santa is, you can play holiday games on the app. There’s a countdown timer, and you can email Santa to ask him for a special present. You can even keep track of him on your social media feed!
