It’s Christmas Eve 2024 and as families gather around the world to celebrate the magical festival, one question is resonating in homes, especially among children. Where is Santa Claus and how will he get to their house? Thanks to Heathrow Airport, children in Britain at least know where Santa Claus is about to land with his elves and reindeer.
On Tuesday (December 24), Heathrow Airport posted a video on its Instagram account showing the flight information display system (FIDS) showing a pot-bellied, red suit-wearing, white-bearded Santa arriving in London at midnight. Was coming down. From the North Pole. Apart from Santa Claus, his reindeers also have names. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph were also mentioned.
The video caption reads, “SANTA1 is about to arrive at #Heathrow. Our Christmas Day arrivals board is live across all terminals, marking the magical stop on Santa and his reindeer’s global journey.”
Passengers were also sent an adorable warning that read: “Please keep your carrots with you at all times. Unclaimed carrots can be sniffed out and eaten.”

“Saw this today at Terminal 5 and thought it was funny!” One user wrote, while another said: “Oh my god I love this. Merry Christmas to everyone at my favorite airport @heathrow_airport”
Meanwhile, a third joked that Santa Claus would still be late as he would have to come through a busy airport terminal.
“They are still going to be processed through Terminal 5. Expect delays,” the user wrote.

Notably, Heathrow Airport has made several changes at its various terminals to bring festive cheer to the visitors.
A larger-than-life polar bear named Bjorn has been placed in the terminal where passengers can stand and get their photos clicked. ‘The Jingle Bells’ – a singing quartet that specializes in holiday harmonies, has also been included to enthrall passengers at the airport.
Additionally, a free gift-wrapping facility has also been provided so that those rushing towards their destination can perfectly pack gifts for their loved ones.
