How it's used

This idiom describes a situation where someone gains an advantage or prize unexpectedly, often when someone else fails to claim it or is absent. It implies that the person did not work for the result and simply happened to be in the right place at the right time. The imagery of a cold hand grabbing a hot snack highlights the sudden and surprising nature of the gain.
