This article is about the song. For the beverage, see Hot chocolate.

"Hot Chocolate" is a song from the 2004 film The Polar Express. It is performed by Tom Hanks in character as the Conductor with the waiters as backup singers. Being the first musical number in the film, the song is about its namesake beverage and how the sole rule regarding it is to "never, ever let it cool." The Conductor and waiters sing it while dancing and serving hot chocolate to the children onboard the train.

The end credits features a medley of the film's songs in which "Hot Chocolate" is the third song after "When Christmas Comes to Town" and before "Spirit of the Season". The song is also featured on the film's official soundtrack as the fifth track.
