Flying Santa - Where he can be seen this year

Watching Santa travel across the world on Christmas eve has become a tradition for many families. 

Whilst we wait for NORAD to confirm when and where Santa's sleigh will be visible on Christmas Eve.  Here are two options to catch sight of Santa right here in Germany and not too far away. 

Bochum and Herford both show full a full flying Santa experience at their Christmas markets. 

Suspended above the markets  Santa and the reindeer fly across the town squares, with music and lights to complete the show.
