Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez said the government has inspected the jingle volume of the bells on Santa’s sleigh, the brightness of Rudolph’s nose and reviewed Santa’s zero-emissions flight plan. The sleigh runs on a nine rp (reindeer power) propulsion system with hay, oats and carrot-based fuel. (The Logic)

Talking point: Santa will have some high-tech helpers this year. Royal Canadian Air Force jets will retrieve any presents that fall off the sleigh, and NORAD has a new centre of operations, Hangar 123, to track Santa’s progress. Microsoft has translated the NORAD Santa tracker website into more languages and gamified some features. Amazon Web Services, meanwhile, said Santa is using generative AI to help with gift ideas, toy designs, carol lyrics and healthier cookie recipes. About 1,250 American and Canadian uniformed personnel and civilian volunteers will use the cloud to answer calls about Santa’s whereabouts. Starting at 6 a.m. ET on Dec. 24, you can reach them at 1-877-Hi-NORAD.
