Children's Christmas Movie from the 80's?

There was a movie I watched as a kid that I loved. It was all with puppets. It was supposed to be the night before Christmas and all the old toys in the nursery were nervous about the new toys coming for Christmas. There was a stuffed tiger who I think was the main character. Anyone know what this movie can be?

    "The Christmas Toy". It was a Jim Henson muppet thing. There was a tiger (Rugby, I think) and a little mouse "cat toy" named Mew, that the other toys said smelled like catnip. The humans couldn't see the toys move or they would be frozen forever.

    [[When no people are around, the toys still play in the playroom. But since a toy will be frozen forever if a person catches it out of position, they have to be very careful. It's Christmas Eve, and Rugby the Tiger remembers how he was the Christmas Toy last year, and thinks he's going to be unwrapped again. And it's up to Apple the Doll, whom Rugby supplanted as favorite toy, to tell him what's in store. But Rugby won't believe her, and tries to get into the Christmas package and lets Meteora, Queen of the Asteroids loose. Unfortunately, she doesn't know she's a toy, and thinks she's landed among aliens. And it's up to Apple, Mew (the Cat's toy mouse), and the other toys to get Rugby out of the box and Meteora back in it before they're found and frozen.]]

    it was a made for tv movie , made in 1986..

    and one of the quotes i liked is whenever 'mew' is nearby and someone else says' phew, its mew' and 'mew' replies.."its catnip, just catnip!!"
