It's a busy time for Santa and his nine reindeer as they cross the globe on their big annual trip.

Santa is super fast and he'll have travelled much of the world before he gets to UK shores.

As of 5.55pm (Thursday, December 24) he's already delivered more than 2.2 million presents!

NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) has a handy Santa tracker so you and your children can watch as he makes his way ever closer on Christmas Eve.

You can pinpoint him on the map as he delivers presents to children across the world, and work out when he's likely to be on your roof.

Don't forget to have his glass of sherry and mince pie ready for him (and a carrot for the reindeer of course)!
