NORAD operates its annual Santa tracking program from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs with about 1,800 volunteers answering calls and emails. Updates stream via social media and NORAD Santa site, and Alexa users can enable a Santa feature. The tradition began in 1958 after a misprinted ad led kids to call CONAD, where Col. Harry Shoup answered the first child’s call.
