The Hot Cocoa Club transformed a retail moment into a cozy, multi-sensory experience within Target’s Holiday 2025 environment.
Designed to spotlight seasonal food, beverage, and owned-brand products, the space used scent, movement, and playful character design to draw guests in. Steaming cocoa mugs welcomed visitors at the entrance—setting a warm, immersive tone before they continued into the alpine-themed journey.
