Official Santa tracker 2021: How you can see where Father Christmas is in the world

It's Christmas Eve and Father Christmas is already making his way across the world delivering presents on his busiest night of the year.

Santa is due to pop down chimneys and use his magic keys on doors across the country tonight - and now you can track him as he heads off on his journey.

Before your children head off to bed for the night you can let them see where Santa is on his route via the Norad Track Santa website.

The site lets you see where Father Christmas is on his epic 41-million mile route across the globe.

Santa set off on his journey from his home in the North Pole, before heading to his first stop at the Republic of Kiribati in the central Pacific Ocean visiting 390,000 homes per minute - that’s 6.424 per second.

Then he headed off to New Zealand and Australia to pop presents under the trees of boys and girls there before zooming over to Asia and Africa and then finally arriving in the UK.

After dishing out all his gifts and filling up on mince pies, cookies, milk and whisky, he will then head across the Atlantic, with his reindeer; Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.

More than nine million people are set to watch him make his amazing journey which will end in Canada, the USA and Mexico and finally South America.
