it was over saturated. I'd tone that down a bit.

like everybody else said, oversaturated. looks like you just turned up saturation and maybe contrast and thats it. there's more to it, like changing saturation but also adjusting the levels of blacks, whites, and mids, and changing the hues of each.
also, keep in mind that there's a difference between color correction and color grading. color correction is what you do to make sure your colors are as accurate as possible (i.e. making sure whites really are white and blacks really are black). see how on your 'corrected' clip, the snow next to the box is very blue? that means it's incorrect. to correct this, youll need to change the hue of your whites.
changing the colors, which is more what you did, is called color grading.

Hues of blacks whites and mids are key.
