Date unknown, discussed here.

Ernie and Bert with glasses of milk

Ernie Bert CNN The Seventies

A clip of Ernie and Bert with a glass of milk is seen in the first episode of CNN's 2015 documentary series The Seventies (on Netflix as of April 2016, July 2017).

Scott uploaded the clip as a gif to illustrate the type of camera shot used, which doesn't appear to be in the style of a typical Sesame Street episode; the lighting also kind of gives that away. Speculated that it may be something for The Ad Council or a similar government-funded PSA; or perhaps a PBS interstitial or promo.

1976 Goro Noguchi Special

GoroSpecial

Jim Henson's Red Book has information on a guest appearance in a 1976 Japanese special starring the Tokyo-based pop star Goro Noguchi, but it doesn't reveal the title (Henson noted it in his journal simply as "Goro Special". The Muppets were invited by Nippon Television to appear on the program and the characters performed for about twenty minutes in sketches and songs throughout the ninety-minute special. Performers included Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, and Dave Goelz (along with assistance from Jane, Cheryl and Lisa Henson).

"Pau Hana Years" (1977)

PauHana

In 1977, Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch appeared in the 1,000th episode of the show "Pau Hana Years," a series produced by Hawaii Public Television. This was probably filmed during the Sesame Street cast's visit to Hawaii.

A video filmed by one of the show's producers documenting the production of the episode can be found on Vimeo.

"I Love You" (1978)

A Valentine's Day variety special aired over NBC on February 14, 1978, combining comedy spots and celebrities reflecting on love. Big Bird and Oscar were among the guest stars; others included Edgar Bergen and Mortimer Snerd, Doc Severinsen, Ed McMahon, Jack Albertson and Gabriel Melgar (from Chico and the Man), Paul Lynde, David Brenner, Don Rickles, Phyllis Diller, and Telly Savalas.

Kermit in a special with Phylicia Rashad

Kermit-chandeliers

A YouTube video post circa April 2010 (now dead, but Scott may have this archived) featured Phylicia Rashad singing in French and dancing to disco. The first few frames of the video showed Kermit wearing a tux, sitting at a table with food in front of him before it cut to Rashad's sequence.
