December can be a financially challenging month, especially for students, with expenses piling up for Christmas presents and year-end parties.

To lighten the load, several coffee franchises and food chains are offering special discounts this December. Here are some discounts to make your celebrations more affordable:

Launched on Nov. 27, when Korea saw its first snow, the event allows customers to enjoy a festive coffee experience at half the price.
