Santa's new delivery service: a... cannon?

Let's say Santa got himself a new toy: a present delivery cannon. With this new cannon, he wants to deliver presents to children by shooting their presents from the cannon into their chimneys. Let's assume the cannon has 100% accuracy with a "present protection" feature, where presents shot from it can travel the world and go into chimneys safely with 0 damage to the present or its surroundings (because Christmas magic?).

Santa now wants to just sit at home shooting out the presents. He only has 1 cannon though, so he can only shoot and deliver 1 at a time.

What kind of force and speed would the cannon need to deliver all the presents in 24 hours?

Edit: The present should safely land in the chimneys without causing any damage. I do not intend to make Santa a terrorist.
