Catching Up with Changes at the North Pole
/
In their first podcast of the 2026 Christmas season Elves Frank and Crash talk about the history of the Tracker Elf program and changes that are underway at the Elf Community on SantaTrackers.net.
They also update us on the status of Santa’s Workshop, which had a rough go last year, and they discuss the upcoming wedding of two very important and high profile reindeer and how that wedding will likely affect the return of Santa’s reindeer to the North Pole.

In all, a lot of going on in the early going so far this year!
