What time does Santa come to Mullen, Nebraska?

Santa is due in Mullen, Nebraska at 10:46 PM Mountain on Christmas Eve. Children should be asleep by 9:30 PM, because he only lands when the lights are out. The time is from our make-believe flight plan, and it is the same every year.

The map and every city's time are here all through November and December. On Christmas Eve Santa leaves the North Pole at 5:00 AM Eastern, and the map follows him live, round the world and across America, until he is home at 6:00 AM Eastern on Christmas Day. He reaches Maine, his first American stop, at 9:00 PM Eastern.

The flight plan is ours and it is for fun: we work out Santa's route and times from a timetable, so everyone sees the same sleigh at the same moment. The weather alerts are real, read from the National Weather Service, and so are the sunset times and the distances. For the worldwide trackers, NORAD has followed Santa every Christmas Eve since 1955, and Google runs its own Santa Tracker.

The tracker is free and there is nothing to sign up for. Your ZIP code stays in your browser: it reads a small file from our site that covers every ZIP code starting with the same three digits, and finds yours inside it. The full ZIP code is never sent to us or anyone else, and it is not stored.
