I am on a Chistopher Hitchens kick.

"On a kick"

Is this phrase originated from BrE or AmE?

Judging from the way it rolls off the tongue, I have a feeling that

it might be one of those hipster expressions originated from the hipster culture. Am I right?

And would the British understand it?

I don't know in which country it originated, but I certainly understand it. The most common use, I would say, in the UK is "health kick" or similar.

I'm on a health kick at the moment.
Don't offer her cake. She's on another healthy eating kick.
