Once again, just like last year, Google and Microsoft will go head to head with their very similar Santa Trackers. TechDrink covered this last year and there’s still little to choose between the two.

Microsoft partners with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) while Google has produced its own Santa Tracker. The former uses Bing Maps, the latter, obviously, Google Maps. But apart form that they’re really very similar. Both even offer Android and iOS apps available to track the Father of Christmas while on the move!

They’re on countdown to Christmas Eve right now, but there’s still plenty to do on the two respective sites, including games and other interactive elements that will keep children (and some adults!) entertained.

We’ll leave it up to you to decide which is best – This is Microsoft’s Santa Tracker and this is Google Maps Santa Tracker. Have fun!
