Add joy to your holidays by following Santa

Need to brighten that holiday glow? We have just the thing: Use your magic blue OnStar* button or the OnStar Guardian^®* app to entertain your family and make the season more enjoyable.

It all starts Dec. 16 and runs until Christmas Day, so there are plenty of chances for children (of all ages) to experience the magic of the holidays. And for every blue button push, OnStar will donate* to the American Red Cross* — a great way to help those who need it most.

From Dec. 16 to Dec. 23, you can push your magic blue OnStar button to check in on Santa and see what he is up to or call to chat with him. Then between Dec. 24 and Christmas Day, push your magic blue OnStar button to find out where Santa is as he makes his journey around the world. Of course, you can also follow Santa’s travels on Christmas Eve with the Guardian app by tapping the magic OnStar button or using the map.

Following Santa has become a tradition for many families. OnStar Member Hayley S. of Texas was thrilled when her daughter Charlie was able to use OnStar to follow Santa. It reminded her of her childhood. “I love Christmas for so many reasons, but something that will always stick with me are the moments of being a kid looking to the sky to see if you can see Santa. Watching Charlie do the same just melts my heart,” she said.

Melani P. started using OnStar to follow Santa when her daughter Karen was just 4 years old.

On Christmas Eve, they headed out to Melani’s Cadillac in the driveway and pushed the blue OnStar button. “I told [the Advisor] that there was a 4-year-old in the car who wanted to know where Santa was,” Melani says. “They were very kind and explained where Santa was and that [Karen] had to be a good girl.”

Karen’s eyes lit up when she learned that Santa was approaching the Great Wall of China, Melani says. Karen had just learned about China’s wall and made a clear connection. Maybe Santa really would bring her a doll house after all. (He did.)
