Questions

What time does Santa come to Port Saint Lucie?

Santa is due in Port Saint Lucie, Florida at 10:40 PM Eastern 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.

When does the Santa tracker start?

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.

Is the Santa tracker real?

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.

Does it cost anything, and what happens to my ZIP code?

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.

Santa's flight plan is make-believe, worked out from where you live. The weather alerts are real, from the National Weather Service.

Sunset times are worked out with the standard solar calculation. Distances are along the earth's surface.
