Hanukkah sufganiyot pre-order: three box-tier clips, about $2.30

A bakery selling sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts) for Hanukkah can show its three box sizes in one 15-second pre-order video: three 5-second Wan 3.0 clips at 720p from the box photos, a Lyria-based music bed, and a caption job that burns the size, count and price. On Sume it costs about $2.30. Hanukkah 2026 begins at sunset on Friday, December 4 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, December 12, according to the Wikipedia dates table (read 2026-10-11).

A countdown series sells the days. A pre-order video for box tiers sells a decision: six, twelve or twenty-four, picked for which night. The video is one asset the bakery can pin at the top of its page until the order window closes.

Why pre-order tiers rather than a daily countdown?

Doughnuts are made fresh, so the bakery needs counts by a deadline. The video exists to move people from browsing to a number. Three tiers keep the screen readable: the small box for a family night, the medium for a gathering, the large for an office or school.

Friday, December 4 is the first evening and it is also a Shabbat evening for many families, so plan pickup and cutoff times with that in mind. Set your own times; this post only needs the sunset date from the source.

What does the build look like?

Photograph each box open, from above, with the same background. Generate one 5-second clip per box with Wan 3.0 image-to-video at 720p, using the photo as the first frame and a prompt such as a slow overhead push-in with powdered sugar settling. Generate one instrumental track through the Music Router; the prompt controls length, and the router takes a prompt only, with no duration field.

Assemble in Timeline 1.0 with the music as the spine, or as the soundtrack under a silent spine, and burn the tier names with captions in cues mode so the prices are exact.

What can go wrong?

The music bed must be instrumental if the captions carry the price: put the exclusion in the positive prompt, as the docs advise. Check the doughnut count on the screen against the box you sell, since the video model may render a different number of pieces than the real box. Burn the count and price as text and let the visuals be mood.

If the price changes mid-week, re-run only the $0.20 caption job.

How long should the video stay up?

Keep it up until your order cutoff, then swap it for a pickup-day reminder using the same clips. Do not add claims about kosher certification unless your certifier's wording is on the screen exactly as issued; that is a label question, not a video question.
