"Keep Christmas With You (All Through the Year)" is a song expressing the importance of keeping the Christmas feeling, a kind of warmth and goodwill, with oneself every day.

The song debuted on the 1975 Sesame Street album Merry Christmas from Sesame Street, and was used twice in the 1978 special Christmas Eve on Sesame Street; the first time was a sing-along with sign language by Bob, Linda, and the kids, and a reprise near the end of the special with lyrics on-screen.

The song served as the anthem for the show's float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from 1980 to 1982. For the 1980 parade, the song was sung as a solo by Bob. The following years, the recording from the closing of Christmas Eve on Sesame Street was used.

It was also used for the closing number in the 1996 special Elmo Saves Christmas, although the opening verse is left out.

A re-arranged instrumental of the song was heard during the quiz portion of Elmo's World: Happy Holidays! It is also sung in the SeaWorld stage show "A Sesame Street Christmas."

It was also sung by Abby Cadabby, Rosita, and Katie Bastian of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in their 2014 Christmas concert and inspired the title for the concert's home video and album release.
