to wonder whether it is worth ringing NORAD?

Will they answer the phone on Christmas Eve?

Will I even be able to ring from the UK ?

DC are 2, 4, & 6 so I thought it might be a fun thing to do but wouldn't want them massively disappointed if I can't get through.

Has anyone ever rang ? (particularly from outside the US)

Why ring? Just follow their web page?

Track him online. He’s far too busy to answer the phone and reception isn’t good across much of the globe.

I don't know about ringing but we once emailed a question to them on behalf of our grandchildren and they were astounded to get a reply within half an hour. NORAD is staffed over all the period of tracking Santa and they are very good at replying.
