A plurality of flexible latching tabs secures the collapsible beverage holder to an edge of the at least one opening. The plurality of flexible latching tabs further comprises at least one locking member for engaging the edge of the at least one opening to removeably secure the collapsible beverage holder to the plate. A flexible member interconnects the at least one locking member to the collapsible beverage holder. The flexible member enables the at least one locking member to be moved between a first position for inserting and removing the collapsible beverage holder from the plate and a second position for securing the collapsible beverage holder to the plate.
