For the fifth consecutive year, families travelling in General Motors vehicles with OnStar will be able to learn Santa Claus’ whereabouts on by pressing the blue OnStar button in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
OnStar is providing the service through a collaboration with the North American Aerospace Defense Command’s (NORAD), Track Santa Program.  From 7.am on December 24 until 5 a.m. on December 25, OnStar users will be able to request a “Santa Update,” which an OnStar operator will provide based on NORAD information.
“Our advisors really get into the holiday spirit when responding to these calls,” said OnStar chief operating officer, Terry Inch. “They put on their Santa hats and elf ears and wholeheartedly take advantage of the opportunity to spread such joy to the children.”
OnStar subscribers, especially those with young children that lead busy, unpredictable lives, appreciate the service.
“Since we are a military family, we never know where we will be for Christmas each year. But this is something that we can do together no matter where we are,” said OnStar subscriber Bethany Auth, who along with her husband and young children contacted OnStar for Santa updates five to six times last year. “The advisors are nothing but amazing when we call. The kids constantly want to push the button, so we call in a few times to give everyone in the family a chance to ask the advisor about Santa.”
But how can OnStar keep people safe on the roads when it’s giving families all over North America Santa Updates? Don’t worry, at OnStar, safety always comes first.
“Our first priority is always the safety and security of our subscribers,” said Inch. “But we make adjustments in staff so that we are able to respond to the Santa calls as well as our day-to-day calls for assistance.”

What a complete waste of time and money! You People realize this shit isn’t real, right!
But what about the kids, so lying to your kids is something we should start them off doing?
Know wonder our planet is so screwed up, we adults can’t even teach our kids what is the truth and what is flase! Then we expect them to obey us when we tell them what to do!
You People Are sad!
Brian, you’re wrong about everything else on GMA…except this.
I don’t believe it is right to lie to children and to fill their heads with absurdities, no matter how fanciful or idealistic they are, as it is highly damaging to their faculties of reasoning. I extend this rationale beyond the myth of Santa Claus and into matters that some adults hold as true.
Perpetuating a lie doesn’t make it cute over time; it’s still a perpetuated lie.
Thank you for the kind words, as I lay down to sleep tonight I’ll think about those words have affected me!
Maybe I’ll be nicer to people who don’t agree with me, but then again that wouldn’t be me!
So I’ll continue to shove my view points down your throats just like you nut bags do to me!
As for xmas I’m glad it’s less than a week until it’s over!
Harmless fun, Scrooges.
So you like being lied to you?
You like lying to your kids?
Try accessing your inner child, Brian. Might make you a happier person.
So your ok lying to children
Wow, what a moral dilemma. No wonder I’m still up at this hour…
You still have not answered q’s about xmas
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Santa was never a big fixture in our house. Christmas to us is about family being together. My kids are past Santa age, they figure out the truth on their own by about 7 or 8, but my kids were told much earlier than that, that Santa was just a character, not real. There were never any gifts under our tree tagged ” from Santa”. The kids were fine with that but they still believed in Santa as a character, a fantasy. Like I said, harmless IMO.
I had said santa in my house when I was a kid, and we went to church, and then I grew up and learned that xmas was a bunch of bull shit! Created to suck as much money out of us working folks as possible!
xmas is supposed to be about the celebration of the birth of Jesus! They proved Jesus could not have been born in the winter Jesus was born in the spring, and you still believe this crap?
Santa is not real! Frosty the snow man is not real!
Why don’t you try living in reality for once!
Good night , Ritter. Don’t forget to put out the milk and cookies on the 24th.
So, if I’ve nothing better to do for the 24th I can go out in the car and watch an imaginary animation of Santa going around the world. However cute and entertaining?, it is a waste of my time even if others may enjoy it. However, I am curious and may have to check it out just for the helluvit. I guess it’s good though that they are trying to please all types here.
Until your kids come out and ask what are you doing, and you have to explain to them that a grown man is following a made up character that flying around the world!
Or you could just lie again to your kids
Hey Brian, I’ve got a decorated Frosty on my front lawn. I’m watching him closely cause I want to catch the moment he comes to life. I’ll let you know what happens.
Nothing will ever happen
