Before up on the rooftop reindeer pause, Santa Claus is being tracked by OnStar. (Or at least that’s what we’re telling the kids.)

Beginning December 24, Chevrolet vehicles equipped with an active OnStar plan can find out the location of Santa’s sleigh by pushing the OnStar button in the car, truck, or SUV. The service will be available from 6 a.m. EST on December 24 to 5 a.m.

EST on December 25.

In combination with North America Aerospace Defense Command the service will provide “real-time updates” using NORAD. According to a release, “NORAD uses the North Warning System radar chain and geosynchronous satellites with infrared sensors to follow Santa on his journey around the globe.”

“Each year, we help keep spirits bright by fulfilling thousands of requests on Santa’s whereabouts,” said Stacey Unold, director of Contact Center Operations supporting Chevrolet. “This in-car technology provides Chevy owners and their families with a fun and festive way to connect during the most wonderful time of the year.”

Chevy and OnStar will also donate $1 to the American Red Cross for every blue button push in the United States.
