Follow Santa tonight. Find the presents tomorrow.
Check where Santa is, open his last message and wish him goodnight. Then get the morning surprise ready in your own time. If your family opens presents in the evening, you can choose that instead.
An illustrative family journey.
One last message before lights out.
“I’ll travel quietly from here. You get some sleep.” That could be Santa’s goodnight message. You choose the words, destination and timing, and can try the whole day in advance, including the morning arrival.
Imagine it at home
- Afternoon
The first envelope: Santa is on his way to you.
- Bedtime
A goodnight message, then close the map.
- Morning
Confirm arrival once the presents are in place.
A journey to your home
Choose where you’ll celebrate and when you’ll open presents. Follow Santa or Baby Jesus as he gets closer.
Dinner can run late
Hold the arrival until the presents are ready. You can also pause the journey and new messages, then carry on later.
Try it before Christmas
See what your children will see. Speed through the day, open the messages and try the arrival without starting the real journey.
How is this different from a global Santa tracker?
Public trackers tell one worldwide journey. Here you prepare a story for your family, with your own times, messages and parent-confirmed arrival.
More practical questionsIdeas to try together
A Santa tracker: around the world or on the way to you?
Your child finds Santa on the far side of the world and asks when he’ll reach your house. Before choosing a map, decide what you’d like to follow: his trip around the globe or his arrival at your tree.

In some homes, a bell rings after dinner. In others, children find their presents when they wake up. The last evening letter can invite them to the tree or wish them goodnight.

At home you call him Ježíšek, but Grandma reads to the children in English. Or Santa comes to your house and you’d like his letters in Czech. Choose the character and language separately, then add your family’s own words.
