Heat from cup holders?

Heat from cup holders?
I have a ‘17 Lariat. I noticed for the first time yesterday that the cup holders had heat coming from them.
This wouldn’t surprise me had I had my heat on, but I was running the A/C.
Is this something internally that I should be concerned about? Or essentially, is there an easy explanation for this?

..............................I do notice that the storage area between the seats is cool, even if the heat is on..

I'm not familiar with the interior of a '17. But many trucks have the console, with the cup holders sitting directly over the transmission. It's not unusual for the transmission hump to be a little warm on any vehicle. I've never noticed an issue with my "14 Ford, but the cup holders on my Tacoma will get a little warm because of the layout of the console.
