Santa Tracker 2021: Celebrating Together Again

Santa tracking highlights from 2021

As the world began to open up, 2021 saw families reuniting for in-person Christmas celebrations after a year of separation. Santa's tracker recorded joyous moments as grandparents hugged grandchildren again and communities gathered once more to light Christmas trees together. The tracking technology was upgraded with real-time sleigh telemetry, giving viewers unprecedented insight into Santa's journey. New features included gift delivery counters, weather alerts along the route, and the ability to send virtual cheers to Santa as he passed over your location. This year also marked the introduction of the Naughty & Nice List API, allowing children (and adults!) to check their status with a simple query. Spoiler alert: you're all on the nice list!
