Since 2004, the Google Santa Tracker has followed that journey and this year is no different.

Google has added more features over time, like fun educational games and even the ability to Call Santa.

This year, Hey Google, Call Santa will put you in touch with an elf operator that directs you to Santa Claus rehearsing a holiday concert.

Mr. Claus asks you three questions that each have two possibilities.

This then generates a tune with Smart Displays allowing users to select between the options on screen, while other devices just accept voice input.

However, it will be lacking the fun visuals on those platforms.

In 2007, Google partnered with NORAD to become the official Santa Tracking technology partner.

Google continued its effort independently, adding games and more features over the years.
