Have A Cup Of Tea.
Refers to an exclamation of surprise or of general humour. You would HACOT, for instance, if an old work colleague sent you a picture of yourself from many yers ago. Back then you may have had hair, not worn glasses and maybe even had your own teeth, you might even have been wearing Wrangler stretch denim jeans - Have A Cup Of Tea, HACOT!
The act of actually having a cup of tea is spurious and more generally refers to the act of taking time out or having a break due to the impending hilarity or embarrassment of the situation.

Laugh (or Laughing) Like You Are Holding A Cup Of Tea
Refers to laughing as you would if you were holding a cup of tea, stifling an innate response to properly laugh out loud.
It is a bastardisation of the often literally incorrect LOL, when one did not even laugh, let alone out loud.
An abbreviated form - HACOT (Have A Cup Of Tea) is often used to simply imply general humour or surprise (see separate definition on this website).
