For the sixth consecutive year, OnStar will provide subscribers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico the chance to learn where Santa is during his journey across the world on Christmas Eve.
Anyone with an active OnStar subscription can request a "Santa Update" between 7 a.m. on December 24 until Dec. 25 at 5 a.m. thanks to a collaboration with the North American Aerospace Defense Command's (NORAD) Tracks Santa.
"My 2-year-old son has finally reached the age where he is excited about Santa," said Keitha Martin, a GMC Acadia owner and OnStar subscriber, according to GM. "This year we will be following Santa's journey to deliver his gifts through OnStar. My husband and I are just as excited for this magical experience!"
OnStar will donate a dollar to United Way for Southeastern Michigan for each Santa call received this Christmas.
"We are grateful to OnStar for making United Way for Southeastern Michigan the recipient of dollars raised through the program to chart Santa's progress," said United Way for Southeast Michigan President and CEO Michael J. Brennan, in a company statement. "We are pleased to be part of a program that brings such delight to so many during this holiday season."
