Chocolate milk would require more agitation than hot chocolate does.
Reason: cocoa powder doesn’t truly dissolve but must be wetted and dispersed. Higher temperature lowers liquid viscosity, increases molecular motion and solubility/wetting, and helps break up clumps, so hot liquids mix the powder with less stirring. Cold milk is thicker and wets cocoa worse, so you need more vigorous shaking/stirring (or a blender/frother) to get a smooth result.
