A 2025 Winter Village guide reports that the marshmallow-topped hot chocolate stalls at Bryant Park "can get incredibly long, with some people waiting an hour or more," naming Bessou's torch-marshmallow hot chocolate among the market's draw items (mychristmasinnewyork.com). Forbes' 2025 dining guide separately confirms Bessou's torch-marshmallow hot chocolate as a listed Winter Village vendor for the season (Forbes).
Coverage does not isolate Bessou's own queue from the broader market crowding, so the hour-plus estimate should be read as a Winter Village-wide pattern that applies to Bessou's popular hot chocolate stall rather than a Bessou-specific measurement.
